We're all on a journey. Each one of us. And if we can be sensitive to the person who happens to be our neighbor, that to me is the greatest challenge as well as the greatest pleasure. Because, if you're trusted, and people will allow you to share their inner garden with them, what greater gift? – Fred Rogers – 1997 Daytime Emmy Awards

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment,
and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
– George Bernard Shaw - A Splendid Torch (1896)

The late Adrianne Wadewitz got me the year of creation of this beautiful GB Shaw work.
When I was just a young teenager and her a teacher (and PhD student), she welcomed me with open arms as an equal.
I always appreciated that effort she made for me. We lost her much too young and much too soon.
Her innumerable impact to open source, Wiki and education communities was more than a single person could ask.

We miss you, Adrianne, every day. Rest in peace my friend.
