Dear Professor,

Life is mixed. We all face challenges, sadness, and longing. Last semester, my mother passed away after a sudden turn. She was an inspiration. Her determination led her to become a scientist at a time when women were not encouraged to follow this path. Later, she brought her skills, energy and humanity to work as an educator and academic leader.

In the best memories of all who have inspired and helped us, I further dedicate myself and Prospect Press to positive service. It is exceedingly gratifying to help all of you help others build meaningful, productive, joyous, and remunerative lives.
