[Air-L] e-burying the dead

About 10 years ago, my great friend Judy Merril died. As a Science Fiction 
editor/writer and personage around Toronto and NYC, she had a large 
network.

It fell to me to be her Email executor. (No other social media in those 
days.) I had her password, and I spent real time in the next few months 
responding to those who were still writing to her.

In some cases, people wrote as a memorial. I remember Spider Robinson's 
in particular.
