I never saw this post (gee, thanks, FB!) but had been trying to contact Ritter - to see how she was, keep in touch, etc. This morning I decided to Google her name and this post came up. I am devastated. She was the kindest, sweetest person. I will miss her friendship, and her books, and my heart goes out to her daughter. Your parents were the best.gdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301546049742842082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-30584418598056605192024-03-09T18:14:36.529-08:002024-03-09T18:14:36.529-08:00I hear Bill Crider grumbling in his grave.I hear Bill Crider grumbling in his grave.Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-59742013439914076712024-03-08T10:36:40.397-08:002024-03-08T10:36:40.397-08:00Thanks ever so much for helping us get the word ou...Thanks ever so much for helping us get the word out!
