I was very shocked and saddened by reading of Allison's passing. She took me under her wing years ago at the National Library when I was a naive teenager and we kept in touch over the decades, meeting up overseas. Allison was an incredibly kind, caring person who was always interested in the welfare of others. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with Denis, Gretchen and Bede.
