Ribbit's Math Ventures is dedicated to the memory of Susan H. Burgess (1955 - 1993). Sue was a PhD industrial engineer, a pioneer of the total quality management movement, author, artist, clown, and my older sister. Always eager to share knowledge, skill, and time, Sue was a natural teacher. She never gave straight out, but made her learners think for their answers. The "creature" drawings throughout this site are all of Sue's style (however not nearly as well drawn) as she had taught me to draw. The frog was a special trademark of Sue's and Ribbit is actually a clown character that she developed and personified, entertaining and teaching multitudes of children throughout her years. Sue died of brain cancer in September 1993. Her spirit lives on in the work of those lucky enough to have had the opportunity to learn from her.
