Rose Friedman: RIP
Rose Director Friedman
1911-2009
We lost a dear friend last week: Rose Director Friedman. I first met Milton and Rose when I was teaching at Dartmouth College almost 30 years ago. We remained friends throughout their lives. Rose and Milton attended the NCPA's 15th Anniversary dinner and allowed me to interview them. They spoke kindly about the work of the NCPA and other free-market groups that evening and also challenged us to continue the fight for liberty. As on many other occasions, it was obvious to all in attendance how important she was to the couple's 68-year collaboration. America and the world are much richer for Rose Friedman's contributions, and it should be a challenge to all of us to continue the monumental legacy that she and Milton left. The world is a very different and much better place because she was a part of it.
I like this. She was always in Milton’s shadow. She never got the accolades she probably deserved.
She was a great lady. And a fine economist.
A real heroine.
