Alice,
This is a very sad email. I met Susan when she worked in the Literacy Campaign that Reagan set up. We discovered we came from the same city in Mass. In fact my sister lived in a house owned by Susan's grandmother, and Susan lived next store. She moved from Malden to Newton,Mass. so we never met in school. As my daughters would say she is/was amazing.  I always called her when I came to Washington and looked forward to hearing her enthusiasm. She will indeed be missed.

    It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Susan Green, writer and editor at the Institute and long-time advocate for literacy, on February 25th.  Susan's career included nearly a decade at the National Institute for Literacy, 12 years with the Follow Through early literacy program at the U.S. Department of Education, and several years on the White House staff of First Lady Barbara Bush.  Mrs. Bush said of Susan: 

    "Susan Green was one of my mentors in literacy.  She was there with me in the beginning, when few people were really paying attention to literacy.  She was passionate about it, and would have personally taught every single man, woman, and child in America how to read if she could have.  She was a dear friend, a warm and loving person. She will be missed by me and all who knew her."

    A Susan Green Memorial Fund is being established to benefit at VALUE (Voice of Adult Literacy United for Education).  Susan was a central and irreplaceable part of the National Institute for Literacy, and is deeply missed.
