This is really sad news for me and for all of us who knew and were impacted by Sharon.
Sharon and I were both members of Bill Cronon's Environmental Breakfast Seminar (one of the best experiences in my life). Everyone listened when she talked. She was so kind in her interactions with seminar members, but her comments were always smart and clear and concise. Sharon had such a wonderful smile. My wife and I often ran into her and Steve at the Farmers' Market, and just seeing her and having a short chat, would brighten day. I knew she had a strong academic record, but reading the above Memorial and following comments was stunning and quite remarkable. I was particularly touched by the many loving comments of former students and colleagues. She had an enormous impact, and also she was so kind. I will miss her and her smile.
