I will never forget going to Kindergarten Roundup at Radnor Elementary when I was five. A little girl stood at the chalkboard and drew a picture of a bird, then wrote the word bird. My mother had been told that we should come to school as a blank slate, don't teach anything. Teachers will do that. And yet this tiny little girl had just written a whole word! It was Laura Goldin and that was just the first time I understood just how brilliant she was. Sorry to hear she has passed on.
The best word to describe Laura is "mensch". In Hebrew Sunday School she was always engaged and encouraged us slower learners. She graduated valedictorian in our highly competitive high school while being humble and kind to everyone. It is so admirable that she put her Yale and Harvard degrees to use to protect our environment and the health and welfare of the most vulnerable.

Dear Lisa - I believe you were friendly with Jim Monday. I have not seen posts from him and I tried to email him without a response. Do you know if he is OK?
You can email me at robert.burk@einsteinmed.edu
Thanks
Robbie
Greg: I saw her obituary also and thanks for sharing and the fond remembrances. Tom
