stoutfellowI mentioned before that I wound up teaching DiffEq this summer because the scheduled instructor wouldn't be able to. The reason she wasn't able to was that she'd been diagnosed with Stage IV cancer.
We have now received word of her death.
She was a long-term non-tenured instructor. She didn't go for tenure because she wasn't interested in research, but only in teaching, and she was damn good at it. The department has suffered a great loss.
Once more, with feeling: damn cancer anyway.
