When I learned of Mary Travers’s death from cancer at the age of 72 yesterday, I felt as if a dear friend had died and that a vital link in my chain to the past had been broken. Rest in peace, Sweet Mary. Thank you for the years of beautiful music, and for helping to shape my life.

Jeanne,
I am in the process of writing a piece about Mary as well. She, and the group were as meaningful to me as to you. I was jolted last evening when I first heard of her passing. Something of our youth is lost.

Jeanne - Just a touching tribute to someone whose music and social justice activism shaped so many of our lives. She was, and will forever be, sweet Mary. - Nadine
