I did not know Bonnie at all, but my youngest daughter brought her book about Django Reinhardt (which we now own) home from the library several years ago. I was extremely impressed with the way she told of his life and music in such a fun and interesting way. She was truly a gifted author, and her unique contributions will be continually cherished and live on through time. Thank you, Bonnie - from the Evans family.
