I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment,
and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
– George Bernard Shaw - A Splendid Torch (1896)

The late Adrianne Wadewitz got me the year of creation of this beautiful GB Shaw work.
When I was just a young teenager and her a teacher (and PhD student), she welcomed me with open arms as an equal.

Her innumerable impact to open source, Wiki and education communities was more than a single person could ask.

We miss you, Adrianne, every day. Rest in peace my friend.
