I'm still in shock today.<BR/><BR/>Bob Davila<BR/>Sacramento Bee<BR/><BR/>Kay,<BR/> <BR/> I'm shocked and very saddened to hear the news.<BR/> <BR/> Meeting and listening to you at the obit writers conference this year was a personal and professional pleasure. Your warmth, talent and body of work truly inspired me to appreciate and enjoy the work I do as a relatively new obit writer, a position I hope to keep for some time to come. (Although, obviously, nothing is certain in our business climate today.) I've learned so much from you and other veterans in just a few short months, and I've been looking forward to next year's event in Charlotte. You will be be terribly, terribly missed.<BR/> <BR/> Thank you so much for your charm, kind advice and inspiration.<BR/> <BR/>All the best,<BR/>BobUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578953112739370297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17094943.post-3984117400897488292008-08-19T16:08:00.000-04:002008-08-19T16:08:00.000-04:00This is outrageous.

Who will be writing for the AJC? <BR/><BR/>Kay is a national treasure and its a shame that the editors do not keep her right where she is. <BR/><BR/>I go to the AJC website almost every day to check on her obits. <BR/><BR/>What is the world coming too??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
