Lucille Smithson is in the middle. This was at the Pebble Beach show July 2010.

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite DB members - I miss her!

I often wonder if I will be missed as much as some people. Lucille was one hell of a wise woman....

It's so interesting, in her home town of Carmel Valley she was just a person, not particularly note worthy. Just one of many long time residents, who struggled along raising kids, horses and husband. I have a very good friend also a long time local. She's known of Lucille forever, and when I shared with her all of her writings and wisdom, she was completely shocked. She had no idea who "that" Lucille was. I think we were all really fortunate that she felt so comfortable sharing with us.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Is there anyone who would be willing to share their copy of her "Writing of Knowledge" with me? I didn't get to download it.

Given the recent uproar about copyrights etc, please PM Sunshine2Me, rather than posting here about that. :mrgreen:
