| Abstract: | The relationship Terry and I developed as colleagues and friends illustrates elements of the legacy she leaves. Our overlapping research interests stimulated conversations about synergies and differences between our theoretical perspectives. Depending on the situation and purpose, these interactions possessed different characteristics. Terry introduced me to research conventions, we collaborated as equals, Terry integrated an element of my theory into her teaching and learning framework and we discussed her initial applications of this. In addition, Terry asked questions to extend my ideas as I developed my dissertation. An illustration of Terry challenging one of my pedagogical actions demonstrates how such a question enabled me to increase the connections I made between my theory and practice. Terry's remarkable ability to flexibly employ different mentoring actions, her research scholarship, her ability and willingness to engage in many diverse collaborative interactions, and her generosity and humor have contributed to her extensive impact.
