She was a force of nature. When she wanted something to be done, she made sure it did. She was a leader of the National Writers Union, writing contracts for writers, and an organizer and writer about women's health and workers' rights. But she also was someone who lived a full life, always juggling three plates in one day, as well as keeping up with a slew of friends going back to high school, going to operas, concerts, plays, movies (pre-pandemic) constantly. The National Writers Union wrote a beautiful memorial honoring her.<br />She was also that friend who always remembered birthdays. And for the holidays in December, we would donate to women's health groups in each other's names. I will miss her for a long time.<br />And she was a great conversationalist, too.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-62037892299543304592020-10-01T13:20:57.126-07:002020-10-01T13:20:57.126-07:00I'm sorry to hear about your friend, Kathy.

This one reminded me that I need to get back to Diane Vallere's Madison Night series as I enjoy it. I have the next book on my Kindle along with lots of other books. <br />I started the David Rosenfelt series late so I have lot of good reading ahead. That series is becoming a go series. One I turn to after I have read a darker and heavier book or several that are just so-so for me. I know I will get a good mystery, humor, and characters that feel good to get back to.Lynn T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08920789124947857728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-96408201601779192020-09-30T05:48:10.902-07:002020-09-30T05:48:10.902-07:00Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death is a national trag...Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death is a national tragedy.
