In Memory Of Louise A. Halper

Louise, beloved wife, mother, professor & friend, passed away on June 21, 2008.  We miss her every day.  Those who knew her were tremendously lucky to have her in their lives.  There has been such a tremendous outpouring of condolences and sharing of anecdotes that made us realize how many people she touched and in so many different ways. 

This site is a collection of photos from her life, comments from people who knew her, obituaries and tributes, as well as several videos including symposium she ran, one of her lectures & the video of the Washington & Lee memorial service in her honor.
