I went to law school with Elks and she was a dear friend but we drifted apart and I was thinking of her and was shocked and saddened to find out that is gone.  I do not know if any family etc are still looking at this site but I don't have to tell you that she was a wonderful person, an original thinker who was true to herself, did not get wound up in confirming and was non- judgmental. I remember Fuzz too, am he is gone but happy to know they were married.  I'm so so sorry for your loss and that I lost contact with her. Loved the girl.
