Remembering my dear friend and talented author, M. E. Kerr today. I knew her first as M. E. Kerr or Ms. Kerr, as she affectionately called her alter ego. Then I got to know her as Marijane Meaker. This picture is actually from my annual birthday celebration. It was the last one she put on for me because we had to cancel the one in 2020 due to the pandemic. We didn’t see each other in person for some time and only had video calls. Marijane enjoyed hosting small gatherings and we, as her guests, had our stories we liked to hear. I wish I did a better job of writing them down and wish I had a better memory. I will try to share here and there. She was a good cook and made a good pot roast and cabbage and corn beef, among many meals. In her later years she was fine with us cooking, ordering in or some combination. With her, it was the company and conversation that always made it fun and memorable. So cheers to Marijane!
