I think one of her most poignant entries was about Earl killing the 
rattlesnake, and how it made her feel embarassed to be in the woods that 
night.

Does anyone know if or when she passed on?  I think I inquired of the list 
back in the mid 90's and someone said she was living in seclusion in 
Florida.
