I have known Martha since I was a wee child, and I've been fortunate to be a close friend of her son Ian for some 60 years. She always welcomed me into their home with cheerfulness and grace.
Some of my finest childhood memories involve the 4th of July potlucks and fireworks that she and her husband Cyrus hosted.
At the time, I had no idea what an accomplished scholar and artist she was, or of her many contributions to artistic/intellectual life. I knew her instead as a force of nature, always moving, ever striving. Her legacy will live long....and I will miss her.
