[Vwoolf] Laura Marcus

[Christine Froula]

Dear Angeliki and everyone,


Such very sad news, Angeliki. You knew Laura much better than I did, but 
I share in your sorrow. I have some lovely memories of her--once 
chatting away while riding a bus together at that wonderful Woolf and 
Contemporaneity conference in Aix--a warm, witty, lovely companion, full 
of life, like Peter Walsh's Clarissa...we will remember her.


love to you and all,

Christine
