Zoe has left the building

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
21

Zoe was an interesting lady. The posters that knew her understand she could be controversial sometimes. I imagine that she was the same way in real life. When I think of Zoe, I imagine a person with a big, theatrical personality–one that was maybe a little extra in certain situations, but also well-appreciated in others.

But also when I think of Zoe, I think of the time I was coming to terms with my personality and suffering from it. One day I shared that angst with the board, and Zoe, a woman I didn’t know from Eve, leapt to the rescue with assurances and advice. She even sent me two self-help books so that I could reprogram the negative thoughts I had about myself and become empowered. That was 10 years ago, and I am a totally different person now. The transformation did not happen because of those books, mind you. But I do think Zoe reaching out to me with encouragement and love helped me get through the sadness I was going through at that time so that I could be here now.

She was a proud teacher. She probably took her teaching legacy a little too seriously, but I am certain that she was excellent at helping kids reach their full potential. I hope some of her former students are able to come to her funeral and maybe share their stories about her.

Zeldar, I did not even know that the two of you were married. In ancient email exchanges, Zoe mentioned how helpful you were as she struggled with health issues. I can tell she loved you very much.

Thanks for letting us know about Zoe so that I could share my story.

Thanks for the words on Peg. So true and perceptive.

And that goes for all of you who have shown how much she has meant to this board! It’s reassuring that her absence will be felt by so many.
