It just wouldn't feel right if I didn't say something about Isabel, the Professor. I had the opportunity in the 70's, 80's and recently to attend Isabel's classes at Hunter. I have always attended her classes when I have been in town. Isabel is brilliant, her wit and extraordinary sense of humor was always enlightening and stimulating. The strength, courage and authenticity in her own life has empowered me to face life with a different perspective...... One is entirely alone without a friend. Isabel has been my friend for 25 years. What happiness, what joy to have someone to whom you dare speak on terms of equality as to another self;..... one to whom you need have no fear to confess all of your failing;... one to whom you can unblushingly make known what progress you have made in the spiritual life;...... one to whom you can entrust all the secrets of your heart...... and before whom you can place all your plans.......... What, therefore is so special, than to unite to oneself the spirit of one another and of two to form one, ........and that no boasting is thereafter to be feared,...... no suspicion to be dreaded, ......no correction of one by the other to cause pain, ....no praise on the part of one to bring a charge of adulation from the other. I will miss you terribly, my dear Isabel.
I love you Isabel,
