I learned today of the passing of a dear friend, Alma Lee, the founder and first director of the Vancouver Writers’ Festival, which I had the privilege of attending three times.

Alma was a great lady, a free sprit, and she sure as hell knew how to set up a Green Room for writers. In fact, she had two. There was coffee and muffins through the day. Later, when the last book had been signed there was a different menu.

God bless and keep you, Alma. If we wind up in the same place, I hope that you are in charge of the after hours provisions.
