EUREKA has lost a close partner. Dr. Gail Schlachter, founder of Reference Service Press, died unexpectedly yesterday.
EUREKA started using Gail's scholarship and financial aid data in the Macintosh and Windows versions of EUREKA in 1996. In 2008, we moved her data to the online version of EUREKA and her own website, RSPFundingFinder. Her data in books, EUREKA and other online resources has helped generations of students get scholarships and awards to help pay for school. Do you have a success story from using her data? Her son is seeking personal stories: http://blog.ericgoldman.org
Gail was passionate that her financial aid data and filter be the best. We spent many hours on the phone talking about the data and filter and how to improve the results for our users. She never compromised the integrity of her data and strove for perfection in what she did. We have lost a good friend and business partner and will miss her greatly.
