I had the good fortune of meeting Katherine my last night in Alaska; she and Jim Kari and Jim's wife Adelaide made an excellent salmon dinner and invited me to join them before my flight back to Illinois. She was very pleasant to talk to, and didn't seem fazed or bothered by my complete non-understanding of the conventions of Athabaskan-English discourse. She also gave me some beautiful pieces of beadwork for my wife and daughter.
My condolences to her family and colleagues.
