Chris,

Thank you for passing on this sad news. If you can, please pass my 
condolences to her family.

Many years ago, before we became Koha "based", I spoke with her on the 
telephone - a satellite connection with an embarrassing delay between 
hear/talk. Ms Blake was most friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgable.

People like her should be cherished - she was part of the "old fashioned 
way" of moving the world forward.

Thank you, merci, nia'wen.
Paul
