>Dear Colleagues,
> Yesterday evening, Ann Brown, long time colleague and friend of
>LCHC and many of the members of this list, died of complications from a
>series of infections. She left behind her husband and colleague,
>Joe Campione, and her son Richard and his family, as well as
>many sad students and colleagues around the world.
> Ann is probably best known to you as a result of her work
>with Ann Marie Palincsar on reciprocal reading and her multi-year
>involvement in creating design experiments she referred to as
>communities of learners. She and Joe are known to us from a multi-
>year collaboration that began before LCHC moved to California and
>continued here through work on learning disabled children in the
>1980's and ongoing discussions about methodologies of intervention
>experiments that will be continued with Joe and others in the years
>to come.
> We missed her often because she was so overwhelmingly
>busy working as a socially engaged intellectual that conversations
>all too often seemed to stop in mid stream. We will miss her even
>more now that the stream has diminished to a trickle in our memories
>and the written record.
