She will be remembered ...
Alfreda J. Geiger
Message from Bill Sharwell on the
Occasion of Alfreda's 90th Birthday
December 15, 1989
The phrase, "growing old gracefully," has a sort of passive ring to it.
Alfreda has certainly been a model of grace but there is nothing passive about her. Each day, she reaches for life, deals with its trials, savors its joys and shares of herself with everyone in her life.
Alfreda has grown young gracefully while she aged. What an admirable gift!
Pace and Pace's people are so fortunate to have had Alfreda's love and affection for so many years. She has taught generations of us far more than academic lessons.
Lovingly,
Bill Sharwell
... you are truly one of Pace's "special" people.
William G. Sharwell
I don't think I know many people as kind and thoughtful as you and I am so happy that my path has allowed me to cross yours.
J.M. Pastore, Jr.
[Alfreda Geiger was one of] those who have profoundly influenced Pace's history, guide those engaged in planning for Pace's future, and provide a dimension of warmth and personal experience for generations of students, faculty, staff, and other scholars.
