WALLY PARK ORLANDO CRACKED
I also remember that we were (unfortunately unsuccessfully since it was during the week) looking for a place to go dancing! Anyway, when we came back home there was a huge spider sitting on the corridor wall in my apartment, and we all looked at it in a mix of awe and surprise, when Susan slew the fearsome beast with a valiant blow from her bare hand!! We looked at each other again, even more surprised and then cracked up laughing and couldn’t stop for a very long time!! In fact I still had sore stomach muscles the next day! Both Susan and Rose were staying at my place and we had a fun evening together with quite a few glasses of nice, Swiss wine. Susan and Rose (Rosemarie DeClerck-Floate from AAFC in Lethbridge) visited the CABI Centre in Switzerland many years back. One of them will stay in my memory forever. There are many memorable stories that come to my mind when thinking about Susan. She left us way too soon and she will be dearly missed at the upcoming International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds in Argentina. I will always remember Susan as a cheerful, enthusiastic, warm, cat-loving person with a contagious laughter, always ready for a joke but at the same time a very knowledgeable, serious and successful scientist. It is with great sadness that I am writing these words in memory of Susan.

Sue will be remembered for her generous and caring nature. She enjoyed travelling with her family, was a foodie, and was known to enjoy a fine wine or a wee dram of scotch with friends.
Sue loved her “boys”, cats Briggs and Paul. Visiting scientists were often hosted to a good home-cooked meal or an outdoor grill on the deck. She was also a dedicated supporter of the city’s Farmers Market which, in turn, contributed to her legendary Christmas parties and backyard barbeques.
