My name is Maria Schultz, I worked in Barrington for many years, I was her hairdresser. My husband Dennis and I were sad to hear of her passing. We were lucky to have met her, she was a lovely lady and always gave me good advise. It has been many years but we went to the authors party Mr. Wolfe had for PEACE. Don't know if you would remember but I did the white dove.

Respectful sympathies from a long time reader. ((You will scarce remember me, Mr Wolfe, but I have the good fortune to host your essay on JRR Tolkien, "The Best Introduction to the Mountains" on my website.))

Condolences to Gene and family. I met Gene a couple of times, and met Rosemary in passing, but can't claim to have known her at all. Everything I've heard about her indicates a light has gone out in our sky, and the world is a dimmer place.

My deepest condolences. You do not remember me, but my wife helped your wife visit the lady's room once while you and I were signing books at a science fiction convention. Odd as it sounds, my wife recalled the event because she was grateful for the chance to serve. Thank you.
