It saddens me deeply to hear of Nancy’s passing. I met Nancy before my oldest was even a twinkle, before 1985 when my son was born. Because of her article in Parent’s Magazine I attended the tri-state conference in NJ with John Holt as keynote speaker. I was very impressed with what I saw and learned at that conference. My children were homeschooled (prior to birth,) or, as those in the know call it, unschooled. Inspired and encouraged by Nancy I have done national TV talk shows on homeschooling and alternative education, I became a support person for others contemplating homeschooling for their families. Nancy and I would trade resources and direct potential homeschoolers to one support group or another. Through the years we would talk about life unschooling and eventually about our adult children as unschoolers and their choices in life. My kids have become wholesome good people having had a rich varied childhood through homeschooling and traveling the world. John Holt taught, and Nancy echoed to give our children ‘real life experiences’ and allow them to learn at their own pace. They were both so very right! Through homeschooling, I have met many strong women, like Nancy, who decided to take the road less traveled, and it does make a big difference in families and raising children. Nancy was an icon in the unschooling movement. Her impact will be felt for generations of homeschoolers. Thank You Nancy for your tireless devotion. We loved you and will treasure your memory, it is not often we meet someone who has impacted so many people and that interaction affects so many generations!
