Two wonderful ladies who were great friends of mine passed away within three weeks of each other. Friends and family were horrified and saddened to learn that Herndon Ely, 64, the constant companion and longtime caretaker of our friend Dorothy (Schwartz) Podber, 75, has also died. A memorial for Herndon is planned in New York and she will be buried on her family plot in Shreveport, Louisiana. Efforts are continuing so that Dorothy's ashes can be buried with her beloved husband, Lester Schwartz. URL for Joy Bergmann's 2007-01-01 article and picture about Dorothy.

Two noble and brilliant young ladies whom we were privileged to accompany in their last years-- rest in peace! Albert B.
