I admired her tenacity and truly appreciated her great passion for the work we do - she spent her time with us as an indefatigable force to help move the profession forward. She will be missed and I hope we will all strive to emulate her "can do" example. As the current AASL President, I had the opportunity to work with eva this past year.
