I first met Cathy when she started in the Continuing Ed program for ceramics at LIU. Bob Barry was teaching the class, I was the studio manager and was in the studio all the time with her. Cathy's love of other people, zest for life, her thoughtfulness and caring were simply contagious. I loved working on a wheel next to her and talking to her, learning about her family, her work, her life. She was more interested in learning about me and speaking of others than herself, pure Cathy. She truly was a person who served others. I asked if she wanted to work as a studio assistant and she said yes, I was so happy. Bob said I was stealing one of his star pupils. Sorry Bob. My gain. I will always cherish the last night Jarret and I spent with Cathy. It was with Martin, Natan, our friends Jenny and Patrick. Surrounded by family and friends at Ample Hills Ice Cream in Brooklyn. What a wonderful night. Cathy we will always miss you and love you.
