In Memoriam: Anne Jackson

Anne JacksonVery sad to note the passing of the wonderful Anne Jackson, much loved by our founders and all at HB. Anne taught many years with us, her students were devoted to her. She brought much joy, on stage and in the classroom. When we had Eli and Anne for one of our public talks, they laughed, and made us laugh, through the whole thing.
