Dorothy Rich

Dorothy Rich passed away on Sunday.   Valerie Strauss does a nice job of capturing her interesting and well-lived life in today’s WaPo.   My wife and I were fortunate enough to know her professionally as well as socially.  Dorothy was an absolutely tireless advocate for better education, in particular parent-school linkages, and also a wonderful person with a mischievous appreciation for life.  Her footprint can be seen through her work and books and in federal policy but more importantly in lives she touched for the better.
