Those of us who have been on the Lanark list for more years than we care to count remember with pleasure Christine Joudrey's tenure as list administrator. Christine had an easygoing way with her, and would share little stories with me offline about her Scottish-born father's favourite words to describe a "crabbit" old woman as a cailleach, as an example, but I can't remember the spelling Christine used. I had many a chuckle as her father was of an older generation who remembered old expressions and words. I was always impressed with how Christine took care of him for many years in her home . Christine encouraged "narrative" posts which could be more enlightening at times than the basic data of barebones of births/deaths/marriages. We count Christine among those who made the Lanark list informative and educational, whilst we still continue to miss the outstanding posts submitted by John Duncan. We have the Lanark archives for reference, however. We extend our condolences to Christine's family. Now she is at rest after too many years of poor health. Maisie
