ABSTRACT
What I shall be discussing cannot help but reflect my personal reaction, not only to Ellen Stechler’s life and death, but also to my departure from Boston University a little over a year and a half ago and the continuing separation reaction that set in motion. For me, it was a separation from a place where, for over 30 years, I grew up professionally and as a person, side by side during much of this time with Gerry EN1 and Ellen.
