I'm so honored to be reminded of the effect my mother had on the policies and direction of the alternatives to incarceration that were the summary of her humanity.
ReplyDeleteI had an excellent primary education in the New York State public school system but the totality of my intellectual acumen is directly related to the integrity and perspicacity of my mother, Sara Fasoldt.
The honor associated with the award that carries her name conveys the integrity that summarized my mother. You have my sincere congratulations.
