Dedication The 1988 Worcester State College yearbook, “ A Slice of New England is dedicated to the loving memory of Anne Collins. Anne came to Worcester State after she had lived a great deal of her life; her sister Julia (Mack, Class of ' 87) had gotten her involved when she started taking classes at State as part of the Elderly Education Program run by the State of Massachusetts. Although Anne arrived here when it seemed the sun had started to set on the prime years of her life, she ea- gerly accepted the challenges that school confronted her with. She excelled in her classes, taking up the Urban Studies major. She proved to be a challenge for a lot of her professors, questioning seemingly unimportant details of an instruc- tor ' s lesson. Her approach to the subject matter was new and re- freshing and kept her teachers on their toes. She was a joy to be with, she made everyone, when in her presence, feel both important and comfortable almost as soon as they sat down. The dreaded disease of Cancer took Anne from us be- fore she could finish the last few classes for her degree. She was awarded one posthumously. It was the least that could be done for a woman who had done so much for so many. This book is dedicated to the loving memory of Anne Collins, for we know she would have loved it so much. Like she loved everything. That ' s what made her the Anne we knew, loved, and so dearly miss. 17
