[Menvi-discuss] Bettye Krolick - Celebrating Her Life

[Karen Gearreald]

Bettye Krolick's DICTIONARY OF BRAILLE MUSIC SIGNS has been posted in the
"web braille" archive of the Library of Congress (www.loc.gov/nls).  Hard
copies of the book, in braille and also in ink-print,  may still be
available on loan from the Music Section at NLS.

> Bettye's love and wisdom and dedication will continue to inspire all of us
> in our work with braille music.  When I met Bettye in person at the NBA
> conference in the spring of 2005, she complimented me for insisting that
> music braillists should always do everything correctly, from the very
> beginning of their training.  When I am tempted to become careless or
> discouraged, I am reminded of Bettye's perseverance and kindness.  For
> instance, on the basis of a year of painstaking research at the Library of
> Congress, she developed the monumental DICTIONARY OF BRAILLE music signs.
> Who else could have been so patient and resourceful?  Let us ever follow
her
> example of compassion and excellence.  We shall sorely miss her.  At the
> same time we can rejoice in the knowledge that the sufferings of her final
> years are over.

> It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Bettye Krolick
last
> evening. She is known to most of us as "The Godmother of Braille Music."
> 
> More will follow as soon as it becomes available.
> 
> The inspiration for your network, and the enormous advances in music
braille
> and its technology, can be greatly attributed to Bettye and to all of
those
> whose lives she touched.
> 
> As for myself, she was a mentor, and a substantial inspiration for the
> methodology and presentation of my courses. She will be missed beyond
words.
