<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Ty Herrington died a year ago today.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">She lived a vigorous life. She was curious, inventive, audacious. She was my PhD student and among the earliest PhD graduates in Technical Communication and Rhetoric from Texas Tech University. She was always
firing on all cylinders (a metaphor she would have appreciated as a racing enthusiast). She delivered to us incisive books and articles about intellectual property, ethics, social justice, and fair use. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Given a diagnosis of cancer, she hiked El Camino de Santiago and took up surfing in Costa Rica. She was a world traveler and a world teacher, putting together students in Atlanta, Georgia, and
St. Petersburg, Russia, as easily as she put together a syllabus.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">She was ready at any time for a conversation about almost anything—a conversation that would be as instructive as it was amusing, that would leave you wiser as well as smiling. She was untiring
as a colleague and a friend. Her preparation for academic conferences included finding the most interesting restaurants (Proof in Louisville, The Grey in Savannah) as sites for energetic discussions about food, nutrition, sustainability, design, culture,
politics, teaching, and rhetoric.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">She deserved more time, and she would claim we all do (with obvious exceptions).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">In memory of Ty, treat yourself today to a splendid dessert, take the stairs instead of the elevator, admire the architecture of your city, or strike up a conversation with people you don’t already
know. She would be envious.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
