"Profile Article of Delancey Street's Director, Dr. Mimi Silbert"

Halle Stockton's profile of Dr. Silbert and her work at Delancey Street is quite admirable.  Stockton's heavy use of quotes indicates that she was very thorough in her research as she was able to quote multiple subjects.  I found it interesting, however, that she never actually quotes Dr. Silbert herself.  While the article is fascinating and Silbert is portrayed as an incredibly dynamic individual, I almost feel like Stockton did not actually talk to the Director at all--and I imagine that it would be rather difficult to write a profile article on someone one had never met.  Stockton vaguely follows Brow's formula for writing a business profile article in structuring the article mainly around the individual within the workspace but including bits of her personal history to create a rounded understanding of Dr. Silbert.  However, I think the blatant absence of direct quotations from Silbert weakens Stockton's article significantly enough that the praise of the other members of Delancey Street cannot compensate.
