A valued friend and correspondent on Mudcat and by phone, though I have never met her in person, Alice was a wonderful person to know. She has sent me songs, served once as a liaison between myself and some travellers coming over by plane, source of good advice and stories. I even think that our generalities link up somewhere way back. I had been getting ready to send her a birthday greeting in a few days. We had fallen out of touch for a few years, but had recently reconnected by phone. She will be greatly missed by many.
