Vaiva's legacy


As the tributes attest, Vaiva left big footprints. Before we left Lithuania, we met with Romas Sakadolskis twice, and discussed, among other things, the idea of collecting and publishing Vaiva's writings and speeches. Don't know exactly how that will work, and even if we have them all, but we're starting to take inventory. I've given Liepa a copy of what we believe is the main electronic repository of Vaiva's work, and Romas will be working with some hard copy material we discovered in Vilnius.

I solicit your feedback on what steps we should consider. The purpose of publication would be to preserve Vaiva's legacy, as well as to honor her, and to promote continued education reform in Lithuania, it seems to me. Or is there another purpose?

Do you have some stories or memories to share? You can comment on this post, or sent me your thoughts by email.
