This morning I found out that my former officemate Rhonda Smith died in a crash on Saturday. She was gracious and funny and kind, and I'm told that she was a unifying force in the Ask-A-Librarian project because she could make entrenched academicians see her suggestions as quite reasonable.

*sigh*...

Oh, I'll probably read some of her favorite poets -- that'll be a nice way to stay in touch with her. She was somewhat surprised when I told her I'd enjoyed a book she mentioned a year before that. But I took her suggestion seriously.
