Melanie worked in the European Division during the 1980s and 90s, teaching mainly in Germany.  Like myself, she lived for more than a decade in Heidelberg, commuting to Frankfurt and other locations to bring education to the American community stationed overseas.   I'm not totally sure, but at a minimum she taught psychology but probably other topics as well.

Melanie, like most of us, returned to her home town to continue her work in the mental health field, renewing old friendships and building new.  Her extended family is nearby.  (Ohio)

Melanie has encountered some rather serious health issues in the last several years.  It occurred to me that there were friends and colleagues who might not be aware of her circumstances unless they get the information through the OMA.

So, if you knew Melanie, or you are in touch with others who knew her, I will be happy to provide an address for cards and letters.  Knowing you are held in a community of care and support has such a positive impact on the outcomes of illness.  You can reach out through GypsyScholars, or call me for information:  520-220-7979 (Arizona).

Let's get a huge smile back on her face!
