I don't know what happen, but have a number for one of her daughters which I will call.
Ellen had been missing from MIRT for the past month and we wondered what happened to her. She had a miserable commute of several hours each way to her job in New York City and I figured that she was just busy.
Ellen was 64, a widow for some years, the mother of four and grandmother of seven. She loved DU.
Thanks to everyone for your good wishes. I've left a phone message for her daughter.

This is terrible! She was a great poster, host, and Mirter. I am going to miss my friend!
