Ron Newman was among the bicyclists who attended the unveiling of of Boston's latest ghost bike, to honor Paula Sharaga, 69, a Cambridge resident and Brookline librarian, who died in a crash with a cement truck at Brookline Avenue and Park Drive on Feb. 15.
It is a sacred honor to remember one who has died because of our unsafe roads. We honored #PaulaSharaga well today. We’ll honor her life and legacy of activism when the roads are safe for all. #VisionZero #bospoli pic.twitter.com/Tcdnt7gRWr

There used to be one at the corner of Huntington and South Huntington Avenue in Boston. It's been gone for a couple of years now.
The city usually removes them.

I've known a lot of librarians in my life -- in fact my first job, right out of college, was working in a library for one summer -- and Paula was the friendliest, and possibly most energetic, librarian I've ever known.
I'm still saddened by her death, and shocked that I was chatting with her just a couple of days earlier and then, boom, there her picture was online. A real loss, especially to all the children whom she delighted.
Rest in peace, Paula.
