The memorial was held as scheduled on Saturday 10 October. I estimate 100-150 people attended. Although I had some hand in the planning and execution, the great majority of the organizational work was done by Huda Akil and her staff at MBNI: Ruth Friedman, Doug Smith and Tom Dixon. We all owe them great thanks and appreciation for all that they did to make the memorial a significant and memorable event.
I have posted new links to an enlarged set of photos of Elizabeth and things she loved as well as some photos of the memorial itself. The latter were taken by my son-in-law Todd McDermott and selected and edited by me.
I want to remind you that anyone who would like to make a contribution in Elizabeth's honor may contribute to the fund created to establish The Elizabeth A. Young Lectureship on Stress and Mood Disorders at the University of Michigan. Donations to the Fund can be sent to MBNI, 205 Zina Pitcher Place, Ann Arbor, MI 48109. Att: R. Freedman.
