Well...I expect to be around for some years yet.  I promised her
to try to stick around until all the grandchildren are adults.
The youngest is 3, so the goal is another 18 years.

One touching point is that, after losing the Clockwork Alchemy
con for two years (2020 and 2021), at the 2022 con they were
still able to get the intended GoH from the 2020 effort: Particia
Wrede.  She and Dorothy got time to sit and chat.  They had
coressponded for about 30 years, but never met before then.  It
was the last con Dorothy ever went to.
