> instance, on the basis of a year of painstaking research at the Library of
> Congress, she developed the monumental DICTIONARY OF BRAILLE music signs.
> Who else could have been so patient and resourceful?  Let us ever follow her
> example of compassion and excellence.  We shall sorely miss her.  At the

> It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Bettye Krolick last

> More will follow as soon as it becomes available.
> 
> The inspiration for your network, and the enormous advances in music braille
> and its technology, can be greatly attributed to Bettye and to all of those
> whose lives she touched.
> 
> As for myself, she was a mentor, and a substantial inspiration for the
> methodology and presentation of my courses. She will be missed beyond words.
