This is hard to believe!
I first met Allyson when she was a professor at Kent State's LIS program. I was an international student then, getting used to the new teaching and learning approaches. I knew I wanted to focus on subject access to information. Allyson was kind, understanding, and generous with her time. She was also instrumental in the choice of my Ph.D. program.
I would meet Allyson at different conferences and was lucky to meet with her a few times in Seattle a couple of years ago, after she limited her conference trips. I always enjoyed our chats, her enthusiasm for cataloging & classification, her focus on student learning, but also some of her concerns about the changing requirements in LIS education.
A great teacher, mentor, and friend!
