Niki, Peggy, Paul and Madaline,
I will always remember all the amazing moments spent in the company of your mother, sister, Grandmother. She was one of the most amazing persons to enter my life. My life is a different life because she touched it. Everytime i look at her work, which is covered ALL over my walls, i remember all the amazing time and thing we shared. I will miss her, but will carry her memories in my heart forever.

I worked with my Aunt Eleanor to build her News Art Syndicate and my husband Mark helped get her work on the web. I loved her passion, her unfailing liberal, anti-racist values, her art and her love of life. She was my roommate for many years and I will cherish those memories. Her pioneering children's book "What mary Jo Shared" in 1966 was groundbreaking in anti-racism. Whenever her worked graced the cover of the Liberal Opinion or was the center piece of the op-ed page of a newspaper I was reading, I was so proud and silently cheered her on each time. Every day we enjoy the spectacular large color works of hers on the walls of our home.

I shared a Newsart space with Eleanor and met her a few times at Newsart events. She had an amazing life, did many interesting things and had a true artist's spirit. I'm very sorry I didn't get the chance to know her better. Condolences to her family but spirits do live on in many mysterious ways.

Eleanor was an inspiration to me, while I was a staff artist at the Salt Lake Tribune 25 years ago, and since that time. She was one of the greats in political illustration, possessing a knack with pen and ink that cannot be taught, only felt. I knew her from her work and a few emails between us. Not enough - I wanted to know her better. My condolences to Eleanor's family and friends. She will be missed.
Sincerely,
Tim Brinton

Drawing by John Overmyer

July 21, 2008
A note from NewsArt, where Eleanor sold her op-ed drawings: Eleanor was a friend, a gentle, elegant presense in our little circle, someone we will greatly miss. In addition, she was the inspiration for a whole group of illustrators across America, who saw her work on the op-ed pages of their local newspapers and decided to give that a try themselves. John Overmyer and I both were drawn into op-ed art after seeing Eleanor's work in the Philadelphia Inquirer, and our fledgeling self-syndication efforts back in 1992 led eventually to the founding of NewsArt.com in 1997. So, on behalf of all of the NewsArt artists, I want to say, "Thanks for showing us the path."
