I met Sharon when I was director of education at the Aldo Leopold Foundation, and she continued to be a mentor and friend after I left that organization for a position on campus. She was a brilliant communicator, dedicated advocate for the environment, and one of those educators who touched the lives of many. I loved trading gardening stories with her, and connecting on the many ways to foster care for people, land, and communities. She is gone far too soon. My heart is heavy for all whose lives were touched by Sharon's light.
