I am still pondering how it is possible that Sharon is gone. Many people here have spoken of her warmth, brilliance, and generosity and I can only agree. But when I arrived here in 1991, juniors were still subject to a significant degree of hazing by senior faculty. Sharon explained the ropes to me in way that helped me acclimate, but also engaged in her share of pranks, all of which were funny, and never mean. My first year, still wearing a suit, she sidled up in the hall and said, sotto voce, "You know, you don't have to dress like that around here." Those who have known her will treasure the "Tommy Bartlett wave" and her Elizabethan royal wave. We will miss her so much.
