Nevertheless, much of the essence of dedicated teacher, compassionate human being, woman of special intelligence comes vividly alive in the answers to the interview questions. Much of the person is here for I first talked to Emily Ann on the phone when she was out on Long Island spending the year-end holidays with her sister Virginia. We were not able to arrange an interview time, which would have been face-to-face with a tape recorder picking it all up. Emily Ann agreed to attempt answers to written questions which I would send to her at Berea. all to admire. When she sent me the answers to my questions, Emily Ann began her accompanying letter like this: "Here it is. Everybody who ever took an assignment from me is avenged."
