With profound sadness we mourn the passing of Dr. P. David Pearson, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Pearson was legendary. One of the most respected and influential literacy scholars in our generation, his impact has shaped so many of us and will continue. We are praying for his family and friends.
