Steffen,
Thanks for posting this sad news. I never knew Pam, of course. But She
would be one of those women whom I always admire, challenging to any
stereotype of woman that I may have been raised with and find myself
occasionally still trying to shake off completely. Indeed Jim has been a
fortunate man to have her company these many years. I have kept company
with some delightful and fascinating women over the years, but I still
would aspire to the side of such a woman as Pam appears to have been.
