This is so true, "...This was beautiful, Karen. This is so true, "Most importantly she was a collaborator. She connected with people and built her network of colleagues based on what was right for kids." I enjoyed reading the story of the connections the two of you made so many years ago. We've all learned a lot thanks to that connection. <br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760018118498685466.post-10458388646544713642014-04-20T15:14:26.867-04:002014-04-20T15:14:26.867-04:00Beautiful!

I think the theme of your tribute is that Franki is a collaborator. I'm sure there are many great literacy educators out there, but she makes sure she shares all her ideas and thinking, and that's what makes her so special. What a great friendship you have!Holly Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476411667354933648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760018118498685466.post-1164487552801954762014-04-20T13:06:15.100-04:002014-04-20T13:06:15.100-04:00What a beautiful piece about the importance of a g...What a beautiful piece about the importance of a great friendship.
