[Edling] Sad news-- Jerry Bruner has died

[Rosalind Horowitz]

Jerome Bruner has passed away at the age of 100.

I had the opportunity to meet Jerome Bruner at an AERA Conference gathering, with his wife Carol Feldman, David Olson, Roy Pea,
and Howard Gardner.  What an incredible, delightful interaction and one that I will never forget! The photo that I took is one I cherish. Yes, he was a gentleman and brilliant mind. His book On Knowing: Essays for the Left Hand is one I turn to often. He drew creatively from philosophy and history, a rare approach today, as he addressed psychological issues, from a developmental perspective, in sheer contrast to stage theory of Piaget and others.
He was a giant and will be missed tremendousy by so many.
