Claire was only 67 but wished everyone to know that she was ready. She was joined today and over the past few weeks by her sisters Ellen and Ruth and her brothers Dave, Phil and Bob. We will all miss her. Miss her kindness, toughness and bravery and her burning desire for knowledge. In her last few days she passed up invitations to watch silly programs on TV with us, preferring, instead, to read Jane Austin or a text on vertebrate paleontology, or to write in her journal. Please join us in wishing her a well-deserved peace.
