Dr. Linda Kunz |
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear, beloved friend and colleague, Dr. Linda Ann Kunz, on December 21, 2009. As a small group of friends mourning our personal loss, as well as the loss to our profession, we are gathering together people from all aspects of Linda's life in a
Memorial Celebration of the Life of Linda Ann Kunz
Saturday, May 8, 2010, from 2 - 5 P.M.
New York University
Kimmel Center, Room 914
60 Washington Square South
New York, NY 10012
Right up until her last moments, Linda lived large, doing what she always loved. She was a great teacher and one of the most alive, interesting, diverse people anyone could ever hope to meet. If you have any anecdotes and memories of Linda--they can be professional, touching, or funny, or even photographs--please send them to Brent Buell at buell28@aol.com.
A number of you have already asked about contributions. To cover the expenses of this Memorial and to make contributions to Linda's favorite charities* TEAA (Teachers for East Africa) and ACCES (African Canadian Continuing Education Society), we have established the "Linda Kunz Memorial Fund." We would appreciate it if you could make a one-time contribution before April 10, 2010. Please mail your checks to:
