Thanks Michael.
I once encountered Ann at the Lincoln Center Barnes and Noble in the travel section. Turns out she had a place in NYC.
RIP Ma Richards.
On another note, I wonder if Clayton Williams is lying back and enjoying this...

I used to see her a couple of times a week on the exercise trails until fairly recently. I'd heard she was not doing well though.
