I'm so sorry to learn of Kim's passing. She introduced me to the evils of the Vietnam War, the importance of the Women's Lib movement, and countless other current events of note. One time I was in New York, and remembered that she worked at a restaurant in Manhatten, but I couldn't remember the name. That would have been a fun reunion! And I often wondered how many theater productions she attended, and maybe participated in. We reconnected through Facebook, and I was not surprised to see that she still leaned left politically She will always hold a warm place in my heart. ❤
