[Vision2020] Sue Hovey

[deb]

This has been a truly awful week. I will miss that tough, irreverent, savy, loving woman more than I can say. My heart aches for Moscow this week...

  Dear Visionaries and the Universe,


  I cannot bear this, and I think I'm a strong person!  First, Terri, David Trail, and the Arby's lady I did not know, and now dear Sue Hovey!


  Although she was a member of the other national teacher's union and actually sat on their executive board, and that she probably worked hard to prevent us from getting any members at the high school, we put all of that behind us and worked together as fellow teacher unionists.  We honored her at the 50th anniversary celebration of our UI local AFT chapter in 2013.


  Every time I think of Sue's intelligence and spunk, I think of two other powerful Texan ladies, whose names my 70-year-old-mind-now-turned-to-mush have momentarily forgotten.  You will know them when I say former Democratic governor of Texas (defeated by Bush, Jr.) and the famous give-them-Hell journalist.  Sue will be sorely missed.


  After I sign off I will remember those strong women's names,

    I know many folks on the vizzz have probably been wondering, and I might even be the last to know; Sue passed beyond the mortal plane last night.



    I’ll always remember her as the G/T teacher at the high school, and how it seemed like she did all she could to keep that Texas drawl.  Many years passed between my HS days and my run for city council, but being the excellent teacher that she was, she remembered having me as a student.  We may not have always aligned politically, but I like to think that we had some mutual respect, and I put up with her teasing me a bit about those awkward teenage years.  No matter what we agreed or disagreed on, she was a nice lady, and a lady in the truest sense.



    She’ll be missed.  Keep her family in your thoughts.

    P.S.  A lot of people to keep in our thoughts here lately.
