Winsome was amazing. I will miss her down to earth pragmatism (delivered with a side of on point wit). I delivered library books to her, introduced her to digital audio and had many great chats. I often use her as an example of never using age as an excuse for avoiding trying out technology that can help enrich life. My sincere condolences to all of her family and friends.
