Yes Jackie, the literacy world has lost a notable writer, she was still writing until the end & has left behind an unfinished book about a special small pony. I'm sure mother in law will be there, as will all of Corryong I assume, - even livestock!! A quote from our local paper "The streets of Corryong will be silent on Friday when a cute palomino pony called Thowra will lead a funeral procession." (The pony is to remind people not only of her writings but of the courage & tenacity of a woman who overcame many challenges in life.) Damien - I'm assuming there will be various vales/obits/articles written about her, I believe there was one in todays Age newspaper. I will certainly post 'something' to the list. If you like I can gather the ones locally & snail mail you copies???? Chris

For those who are interested the Bulletin had an article on Elyne Mitchell last December. It can be found at http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/bulletin/eddesk.nsf/All/C24BAB700F6C5D0ACA256 B14001C7C91 Also a small article reporting her death appeared both in the Herald Sun and the Advertiser on 6th March.
