She died in Vermont at age 94 with her family around her. A couragous adventuress who knew triumph as well as tragedy.. the world is darker for her passing. Mike

Here's something I'd like cleared up about AML: We know her husband was a Nazi sympathiser in the days leading up to WW2. How did AML feel about this?

A fine writer and great spirit...also every bit as much an adventurer as her husband.

So long AML.

Sorry to hear this. I've always loved her boook, Gift From The Sea. I've given it to many friends as gifts.

Sleep well,

I read that book years ago, kat; thanks for mentioning it, because it's time for me to read it again. A strong and beautiful spirit.

Aloha,
Mark

I always loved her book too. Anne must have been an inspiration to my all time favorite woman Rachel Carson. wdyat12

The poor lady saw more that her fair share of tragedy. I believe that Mr. Lindbergh's politic were reprehensible but that is in the past. He's been dead since the 1970's. AML, fair winds and following seas as you traverse the uncharted sea we all must follow someday. May your next life be far more peaceful than this one. Kindest reguards, Neil

I gave that book just this spring as a gift to my best friend home in Vermont - I never even knew she lived in the state. A great sorrow. -J

The conviction and execution of Robert Helpmann was in my book state murder. I have always assumed that both AML and her husband must have been party to the lie, since the crime seems so obviously to have been rooted within the Lindberg household.

Flirtation with the nazis was quite widespread, extending to members of the British royal family and many right-wing capitalists on both sides of the Atlantic. Even allowing for that, Lindberg seems to have been a deeply unpleasant individual. I would consider AML guilty by association except that from what little I've read about her I have just assumed she was wholly under Charles' spell.
