Dear Friends, We regret to tell you that Barbara Palmer passed away last evening after a remarkably courageous battle for life, professional to the very end. Barbara did not want a funeral or memorial. However she rejoiced in the MRDS prize given in her honour this past May and we can be happy that she was present for that announcement at Kalamazoo. Anyone wishing to contribute to the prize should contact Alexandra Johnston at [log in to unmask] for details. -- Abigail Ann Young (Dr), Associate Editor/ Records of Early English Drama/ Victoria College/ 150 Charles Street W/ Toronto Ontario Canada Phone (416) 585-4504/ FAX (416) 813-4093/ [log in to unmask] List-owner of REED-L <http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/reed-l.html> http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/ => REED's home page http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/stage.html => our Web guide http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~young => my home page
