In Memoriam: Jennifer Yael Bates
A member of the PW "family" passed away this week, and I'm sending lots of comforting good wishes to her partner, David. She was truly a unique person. Whenever someone this interesting dies, I irrationally think, "Why couldn't someone dumb and boring have died instead?" It makes no sense, I know, but if there were a giant toteboard in the sky, Jennifer would have lived forever.
Here's a lovely tribute to her from the Philadelphia Inquirer.
