An important note from Leslie, daughter of Barbara Fox:
Leslie writes: I am very pleased with the way the day went for Mother’s Celebration of Life! Thank you (WASM) for helping me get the word out. There was however one mishap; two booklets of my mother’s art are missing. I ask you kindly to help me reach out to some the WASM members to see if someone inadvertently picked them up. They weren’t for the taking (they are the only copies) so I would appreciate having them back. Kind Regards, Leslie lesliefox_2000@yahoo.com
