Here is a link to her obituary –
William Carey (‘73) recently published a book of illustrations and haiku, A Ghost Walking Through a Dream: a curious collection of haiku and illustrations. William who has made his living as both as a graphic designer and fine artist, began writing haiku 20 years ago commuting on the train into Chicago. He then began combining the haiku and the illustrations which now populate the book. He shows his work at galleries and reads his poetry at the Raue Theater in Crystal Lake, IL. The book is available at Amazon.com. Congratulations, William!
