I don't know what to say, since I didn't know her on a personal, i.e.,
offlist level, but I do appreciate all the excellent work she did for
bookshare; as you say, she was a hardworking, and not only that but always
did an excellent job--for bookshare. Please add my condolences
Cindy
P.S. her passing reminds me. I asked before but haven't heard; does anyone
know anything about --darn; at this moment I can't remember his name (I did
when I wrote earlier to ask) but he lives (I hope it's still present tense)
in Malibu, if I remember correctly, and was housebound; his wife went to
the library to get books for him to scan; he, too was(is?) an active
volunteer, and a member of our geriatric club. That's why I'm worried. He
is, or was, one of our older members, if I remember correctly from the
various conversations and reminiscences we older folk had on the list
(providing a bit of history for you younger folk smile.

"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you
forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated,
but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to,
then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in
the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of
the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti
