About JAF . Judith, A Celebration . The Memorial

Friends and family gathered at the Rich Auditorium at the High Museum of Art on February 21, 2005, to remember and celebrate Judith's life.

Tears and laughter were the order of the day. Many of us who knew Judith well were thinking that she surely would have ducked all the attention and tried to divert it from herself and onto others. See the program for the event below.
