As opposed (she said dryly) to the people who want to tell her how to
handle probate, how to handle copyright renewals that are being handled
by the literary agent, and who snub her because the deceased once argued
with a beloved (by his friends, at least) literary figure.

OTOH, I would dearly love to have Jack's Air National Guard serial
number and dates of service for possible benefits. Ted, would you know
that? <VBG>

On another matter, is WSFA sending Tamar flowers, or a card, or
something? I was hurt that Jack was a WSFA member all those years and I
while I heard from individual members, the club, as a whole, was silent
from the time he went into the hospital until well after he died. --Eva
