      Some friends came to the cabin to visit the beach, ride horses or just talk. One was Steph Powers, who worked with AIDS and nutrition re-search in Boston and then Africa. Her laughter alone was life-giving. Others were Eric Convey, the "Christopher Robin" of our hundred-acre woods, and Carole McMillen, an artist.
