Mary T. Segall - Professor Mary Segall passed away during the summer of 2006, after a brief illness. She was a valued colleague and a cherished friend. All of us at Quinnipiac University who have dedicated our professional lives to the improvement of student thinking and writing will greatly miss her wise counsel and warm friendship.
