----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Many of us in the map-cataloging world have worked, with pleasure, with Nancy Edstrom. I just heard (from Li Hunt, USC ISLA), that Nancy died a few days ago, of leukemia. In August, shehad noticed "floaters" in her field of vision, and had gone in to have a checkup. She went from the checkup directly into the hospital, underwent several rounds of chemotherapy, and then came down with an infection. Jim Edstrom, Nancy's husband, requests that instead of sending flowers, contributions be sent to: Leukemia Society of America 100 West Monroe Street, Suite 1610 Chicago IL 60603 Cards may be sent to Jim at: 258 Waverly Drive Elgin IL 60120 Mary Larsgaard Map and Imagery Lab, Davidson Library University of California Santa Barbara CA 93106
