N2 - This eulogy for Marion, who died in June 2018, was delivered at the Garth Boomer Address at the 2018 AATE-ALEA Conference in Perth. Terry, a former AATE President, met Marion in the late 1980s when working on the development and implementation of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Literature Study Design. They became friends as well as professional colleagues and, for the past 30 years, worked closely on several of the projects cited in the eulogy. It’s very appropriate that we honoured Marion, and her immense contribution to English and literacy education over the past forty years, at an AATE/ALEA conference. As an educator she, more than most, moved easily between both communities and was often a conduit between them.
