I appreciated Nadine's posts in Facebook on the Central High School Profile page with Student Obituaries and updates on the Central High School site. She also reported on occurences in and around the Madison area that was helpful to know. The last time I went into her site, she apologized for not keeping up with her posts as she was sick. RIP Nadine Goff

Nadine’s passion for community theater was amazing. Her reviews were always fair and insightful. We became friendly over the years and I always valued her opinion. I’m very sorry to hear of her passing.

Nadine was a brave writer who reviewed a lot of local theater and put up with a lot of negativity from people who didn't like her reviews of their plays. I admired that about her.

Thank you, Nadine, for all the remarkable work you put in to keep Centralites informed for the past half century. It was clear from our high school days that you were a goal-oriented girl of intelligence and determination. RIP Jo Ann Benell
