Sue Fox, the Center's assistant director since 1982, retired this spring, and her absence will be much regretted. Sue is a dynamic, energetic personality, and her management of day-to-day activities made it possible for the researchers, bibliographers, and directors to do their work knowing that the many administrative and financial details were being attended to by Ruhama Roth and herself. Sue,s tasks were more than "simple" administration. She was responsible for the Center,s publications and their distribution. She negotiated agreements, saw that they were kept, and prodded the rest of us to keep our side of the bargain. She herself reviewed the English language texts and worked with the editors and copy editors who put the publications into shape. Among her many duties was the organization of conferences, and she dealt with everything -- from schedules, accommodations, finances, down to (or up to) the flowers in the rooms for the guests. She fetched guests from the airport and looked after them, earning praise from all for her expertise and personal warmth. She and her husband, Prof. Seymour Fox, hosted meetings of our guests in their home, and managed to turn the Center into a social, as well as academic, meeting point. In the daily affairs of the Center, she prepared the agenda for the executive and academic committee meetings, and was an active participant in the decision-making process in both forums. Everyone connected with the Center knew that if Sue took upon herself a job, the job would be done efficiently and quickly. Sue Fox has retired, but she has already started upon another, new, career. The Center staff are very, very grateful to her for her important contribution, and wish her the best of success in all that she chooses to do in the future .
