To the above list of recordings, we can add one book of essays she co-edited. Américo Paredes and Ellen Stekert, The Urban Folk Experience and Folk Tradition (1970). I met her around the concert was recorded. At the time, she was living in a nice little house in south Minneapolis with her partner and (as I recall) a rather opinionated bird. She was recovering from a neck injury. She must have recovered pretty well; not too long after that, she was featured in an REI ad for outdoor equipment. Unfortunately, my parents took possession of all the LPs we got from her, so I can't look up the liner notes to see what information they add to the above. And, yes, that's the Milt Okun who did music arrangements for Peter, Paul and Mary (who needed his help desperately) and The Chad Mitchell Trio (who didn't). The cover photo on the LP is not them, however. The people who produced the album wanted a more photogenic couple.
