Mary has lived in CA for fifty-four years, a reluctant transplant from San Antonio, Texas. Her web site, a labor of love, is composed of excellent poets. The site has enjoyed an unbroken presence for ten years, with no commerrcial affiliations. Mary's home-based family members will be greatly missed by family, friends and colleagues. Her daughter, Von Purdy, died in 2007 of incurable appendix cancer. Her spouse of thirty-nine years, an attentive and loving husband and step-father to Allan and Von, died in the summer of 2009, after a courageous battle with pneumomia. following an emergency operation for perionitis. Four of the poets featured on the website and the beloved spouse of scientist/poet, Dr.William J. Middleton, Mildred "Millie" Middleton, have died, Mrs. Middleton on November 10, 2009, leaving a community of artists and writers with the awareness that these gifted, producing members of society are one-of-a-kind persons and irreplaceable. These artists and thinkers made indelible marks on many hearts, whether knowing them as vis a vis persons or through pen reflections on paper or brush perceptons on canvas.
