This is shattering news. Dorothy was my poetry and writing lecturer
during my writing major at NSWIT, now the University of Technology,
Sydney. Thanks to the flexible nature of the degree and most especially
Dorothy's dedication as a teacher I was able to complete a writing major
in poetry. Now UTS offers a major in poetry writing and it can be said
that Dorothy had a big part in making this possible.
Dorothy was also a good and supportive friend.
