[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Fitting Post on Twitter

[Timothy Shanahan]

Except she wasn¹t ³Beatrice²‹she was ³Bernice². Like David, I¹ve seen it
many different ways‹many of her students and teachers write about ³Bea". In
her NY Times obituary she is noted prominently as ³Bee² and that¹s how I
remember her. She once sent me a very touching note and it was signed ³Bee²‹
in quotations just like that. She told me she¹d been Bee since she was a
little girl. Someone important to her (an aunt, a teacher?) used to call her
³her little Bee² which she loved it and it stuck. The quotations make me
wonder if she was consistent about it herself.

Dave--I'm pretty sure it's "Bea" for Beatrice.
