RIP Terry Ryan, the author/daughter of the Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio.
Author Terry Ryan, 61, dies in S.F. home
I've been sorting through boxes of books lately. Came across Terry's book just a couple days back. I hadn't realized she was ailing.
Survived by her nine siblings and Pat Holt, her partner of almost a quarter-century. Pat and Terry were married on Valentine's Day weekend, 2004. The state nullified that marriage.
That wrong can never be righted now. Here's to the day things change for those who carry on the good fight.
And here's to Terry, may she be remembered fondly.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
