I remember Shirley Whitaker very well. She was a very good scholar and such a nice fellow colleague.
May she rest in peace.

De Mary Lorene Thomas:

Dear Amy, Robert and Susan, Thank you so much for letting us know this sad news.  We are all saddened by the disappearance of one of the pillars of Golden Age Studies. Shirley was very kind and helpful to many of us and it was always a pleasure to see her at various conferences.
