In this article, the author profiles Dr. Elisabeth Caspari (1899-2002). As a teacher of teachers, Caspari traveled extensively for 50 years, sharing the wisdom she had gleaned from her training under Dr. Maria Montessori in Adyar, India, and from 4 years of frequent association with Montessori and her son, Mario, in Kodaikanal. The threads of opportunity that led to that association and that Caspari carried forward into a new career in the United States after World War II weave the tale of a very active life lived with an inspired and inspiring focus--to be a clear voice for Montessori's vision of the child.
