AER just moments ago called me.

Thank you for posting this. I just found out, and want to add my sympathies for her. She was a great friend, a wonderful compatriot ... all that as well as being a source of superb knowledge. What matters, though, is she was (and IS) a FRIEND.

I will miss her forever.

DAMN IT.


I will have a more intensive memorial tomorrow; I'm just now dealing with the shock.
