Part I The Challenge of the Quest Through its public service activities and its support of educational and med- ical research, The Orton Dyslexia Society works toward the day when every child and adult will have the opportunity to master language to the extent required for full participation in our culture. It was this goal which guided the life work of Sally Childs who was tireless in demanding that every teacher be taught to understand the language thoroughly so that every child may learn it well enough to lead a productive and satisfying life. To represent the countless teachers and members of this Society who remember her with admiration and affection, we have asked some of her close personal and professional associates to share their thoughts with us in the first part of this section, "A Tribute to Sally Childs." Here are recol- lections by Aylett R. Cox, Marion Welchman, Roger Saunders, Alice Koontz, and Margaret Rawson. Mary Lee Enfield's powerful keynote address at the Society's San Francisco Conference in 1987, "The Quest for Literacy," conveys a mes- sage Sally Childs would applaud by demanding that we reject the notion that functional illiteracy cannot be defeated.
