The following is some more official information about the death of Carol
Kramer last week, sent to me by the Mark Twain Papers.  Carol was an
Editorial Assistant at MTP, and during her time there was immensely
helpful to Twain scholars, including many subscribers of the Forum.  To
others of us, including me, she was also a great friend, and I still
can't believe that when I return to Cambridge in the Fall she won't be
there.

In addition to her work at MTP, in 1992 Carol was instrumental in
putting Net-connected Twain enthusiasts in contact with each other, and
the result of her efforts can be seen right now on the Forum.  I'm glad
that she was able to see it grow into its present, fine form.
