Note from the President

Dr. Anne L. Schroder, 1954-2010

I am very sorry to begin the new year with sad news. Our friend and colleague Anne Schroder passed away after a brief and unexpected illness on December 23. Anne served HECAA as newsletter editor, treasurer, and president. Far beyond these official capacities, she was an extraordinary voice of enthusiasm, support, and good cheer for our community. She will be greatly missed.
