ah Mary, what a unique and strange soul you were/are - thanks for all the times - do you remember  wearing black fingernail polish on Hallowe'en when you were 16? - proto-Goth but you were way above and deeper than that - and I miss that you could have told me the etymology of all those things/events/facts/dreams

 factual - Mary I believe spent many years as a professor of religious studies at Mundelein College in Chicago and was very active in Celtic, early Christian, woman-based spirituality - she also played the Irish harp

Robin, you're right - Mary Aileen played harp beautifully. I was fortunate to sing with her once or twice -- "motherless child" while she played -- I'm saddened to hear of her passing, but have many fond memories. Barb Hoffman, thanks for posting.
