Carolyn began her reading by acknowledging that fact before reading "Running Away from Home," her comic tribute to the place. I read the poem to Karen Lee the night we recalled Carolyn's immense love of life, and through that poem we said a mutual goodbye to our beloved friend.Floyce Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670676519580894698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755123332716147532.post-91326571575499657522014-10-12T12:27:57.967-07:002014-10-12T12:27:57.967-07:00I remember those days with Caorlyn vividly.

It was held at the decaying Ramamda Inn on Rampart Street. She did fall the first night, getting into a cab. The rest of the conference she needed a wheel chair to get to events. I was one of her "drivers." She always even in the chair remained elegant and a Grande Dame. There was no stopping her.Alan Soldofskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938104173355182458noreply@blogger.com
