H ONORING M RS . B RENDA W ILLNER It was so long ago;

It was yesterday. You were young; We were young. We were dumbfounded by your perfect AshkenaziS IvRIS; We were fascinated by your Boston accent. We were silly; You were serious. For all the grief that we gave you Can you ever forgive us? We join our BY sisters in expressing our appreciation and gratitude for all that you gave us and continue to give our school. . . . We never forget the extraordinary man who always encouraged us to think critically and independently. He respected us and insisted that we respect ourselves and each other. He was in no small part responsible for our becoming successful Jewish human beings.

He always called us “People!”. W E ALWAYS CALLED HIM R ABBI S TEINBERG The Class of 1967
