Thank you, Arlene, for making a most indelible impact on my life and those of so many others. At a time of upheaval, growth, and reevaluation (which college in some sense is for us all), you so generously gave us your time and time-honed wisdom. You were a consummate musician – a revered mentor – a treasured friend – a figure whose values and dedication to music and to life I will carry forward with every fibre of my being.
