green_trilobite's mother passed away last night at the Versa Care nursing home. Once a talented artist and designer who corresponded with Buckminster Fuller (she had spotted a mathematical error in one of his books), and once had a radio play accepted by the CBC, Peggy had been in frail health and suffering from dementia for about two years. In keeping with her humanist principles, her body has been donated to the University of Toronto's medical school, and no funeral will be held, although an informal memorial get-together will likely be held in a few weeks' time. green_trilobite and I thank you all for your sympathy.

I've posted a short "Canadian History" vignette to youtube, for which Peggy did the animation - the figures are three-dimensional, cut and folded from heavy vulcanized paper manufactured as a liner for electrical sockets (she called these sculptures "Scoraform.")
