I was very saddened to hear about the passing of Anne Marden, whom I first met over 30 years ago. I had a deep respect for her. She was kind, caring and graceful. She was an ardent champion of young children’s right to play, education and learning and she was particularly concerned with the education of children with special education needs. She established the Marden Fellowship which supported the visits of eminent scholars and practitioners in Special Education to the Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong. We, and in turn our academic programmes, benefitted much from interactions with these scholars. Our University honoured her with an Honorary University Fellowship in 2007, recognising her immense contributions to education and Hong Kong society. The beacon may have been extinguished, but what she inspired will live on. My heartfelt condolences to Anne’s family.
