A beautifully written tribute to a beautiful person, stateswoman, neighbor, and friend. We shall never forget Delaine Eastin and the far-reaching impact she had on this world; and also how she would always punctuate her remarks in support of the education message, by closing with her favorite quote,

“Children are the living message we send to a time we will not see.” —Neil Postman

R.I.P. Delaine🙏🏼

Oooh I had no idea. I used to see Delaine at our manicurists shop. I looked for reasons to hang out a little longer to listen to her stories of growing up in the south. She credited her parents but especially her father for believing education was just as important for her as it was for the boys. It was from him I believe her passion for education began and grew her entire life.

I only knew of her in retirement but wished each time I seen her in action for California. She was a natural force to be reckoned with.

Kathleen - I've never met anyone who did not think the world of Delaine Eastin. She was the very definition of a true public servant.

She left the world a much better place than she found it.
