To a wonderful and inspiring Dean of Journalism.  I'll never forget going to her apartment (the first I ever saw that overlooked Central Park) or her generosity in time and support for her students. She was truly an original. Diane Brady (Class of 1990)

Al,

My wife and I just heard. We are so sorry. We will miss her and owe her a life-long debt because without her we would not have met and our family would not have been. So sorry we did not hear in time to attend services.

I  mourn the passing of a great journalist and extraordinary television producer and executive, Ms. Joan Konner. She was my boss at WNET/ Thirteen for many years and I was grateful for her strength, wisdom, and insight. She was a mentor and a visionary. She supported strong public affairs programs that brought change to her community and to the country. Her role as executive producer exposed us to her incisive judgment and wit. She fought for ethics and standards in an industry where those values are vital. She continued her fight at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism where she served as Dean and I celebrate the memorable (albeit brief) time I worked with her there as well.  Joan was a friend and an inspiration. I will miss her.
