Both are fitting tributes to someone who will obviously be missed by readers everywhere.

I didn't catch that she died yesterday, so thank you for mentioning it. I'm going to check out your link, because I'd like to know more about her.<br /><br />One of my very favorite books of hers is The Camelot Caper, also known as Her Cousin John. I haven't reread it for many years, so I think I'll pick it up this weekend in remembrance.Kathy A.
