Such a shock!! Sue was my flute student for many years when she lived in Burlington, Vt. I have several of her pottery pieces that she gave me as gifts. I can still hear her voice in my head. What an interesting person she was. I have a post card of her watercolor "Tommy's Tractor"! I remember the watercolor of the Barre granite quarry that she won an award for. My condolences to her family. I know she is missed!! I have pulled out her pottery pieces and put them on display as an homage to Sue!! Peace to you!!
