Thank you for posting this. It has been a few years since I last spoke with her, and I read your message with a heavy heart. As you know, I was Ed Wagner's advisee in the '90s, and she had really taken me under her wings. Looking back, I feel she may have appreciated
 having me around as someone young enough to be a grandson, talking to her in Korean. With me, she shared much about her life, past and then-present. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt">I am
 sure many on this listserve who knew Namhi shares my sentiment. She will be missed dearly.</span></div>
