Vale Lawrence D. Shriberg

I am so sad to hear that my mentor and friend Larry Shriberg has passed away. He has had such a profound influence on my work, and on children with speech sound disorders (SSD) throughout the world. I was to be his PhD student at the University of Wisconsin Madison; however, grant funding fell through the year I was to study with him - so I was unable to move to the USA. Larry had an ongoing interest in my work and we met up at each ASHA convention.
