<div dir="ltr"><div>And her hospitality... when I was coming to take my first academic post at Georgia Tech after finishing my PhD in 2015, my spouse and I came for a house-hunting visit. Ty became the first other Tech faculty member to invite us to her home, and then she walked with us for nearly three hours, some of it in the rain, through neighborhoods she thought we might be interested in seeing. She fortified us before departure with margaritas just the way we like them: Good tequila and lime juice--and that's it. We did find some dinner, too, good BBQ (Texas style).</div><div><br></div><div>She was so protective of me when I arrived and started teaching. And when I evaluated a career move, she offered steady counsel, though we all knew the cancer was back. I miss her.</div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">-- <br>-Brian<br>__________________________<br><b><font color="#0b5394">Brian N.

<p>Thank you, Sam. You brought back so many memories. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Ty Herrington died a year ago today.<span>
</span></span><span style="font-size:11pt;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><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black"> </span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;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><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black"> </span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;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.<span>
</span>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><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black">She deserved more time, and she would claim we all do (with obvious exceptions).</span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;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.<span>
</span>She would be envious.</span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
