[Xmca-l] Re: Fwd: Sad news about Vivian

[Beth Ferholt]

Yes, I too have been feeling such sadness.  I just this month I was able to
connect with a preschool director here in Japan who had even read some of
her books before they were translated into Japan.  Her work reached deep
and far, and was also at least 1/2 of what brought me to LCHC ... as I was
introduced to Mike's writing through his introduction to Mollie is Three.
