I met Cathy at the Blue Heaven writer´s workshop. She was funny and smart, and I loved hearing about her engineering work on the remodel of the British Museum, a complicated and beautiful piece of work. We´d talked about meeting up the next time I was in London, and I´m sad that´s no longer possible. My condolences to her loved ones.
