the Kentucky Math Community lost a dear, precious leader, mentor and friend. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of Ann Bartosh. Ann was a leader throughout Kentucky and the nation. She will be missed for many things: lifelong learner, champion for mathematics education, equity, high expectations and opportunities for all, her smile, her laugh and her keen sense of humor. She had the ability to find joy and beauty in mathematics and in life. Ann will be dearly missed and never forgotten. If you would like to send condolences to Ann's family, please email Robin Hill r2hill10@gmail.com or Gloria Beswick grbeswick@aol.com Ann's wake is planned for late November. No other details known at this time. Clark Legacy Center in Frankfort is in charge of the arrangements. Online condolences can be left at www.clarklegacycenter.com.
