I am so saddened to hear about Bonnie's passing. Though many years and miles carried us apart, I always considered Bonnie a dear friend, mentor, singing partner, and concert partner-in-crime. (Mark & Melanie, how many kids could fit in that little car, huh?) I never heard a song by Arlo Guthrie, Paul Stookey, Dan Schutte, John Foley -- and Jimmy Buffett, of course!-- without Bonnie coming to mind. Steve, I'm so very sorry... Byron, and all of you: my prayers are with you.....
My first thought, however, was - she'll finally see dear Scott again!
Love, Dianne
