Jordis Rhule

I note with great sadness the passing of Jordis Rhule, today, from brain cancer.

I first met her some five years ago when she was hired as director of the Antioch Writers' Workshop. She was a bright, young, vital mother and freelance writer.

I did not know her well, but I watched her decline from a respectable distance as mutual friends kept me aprised. I saw her not too long ago and thought she had beaten it. Apparently, her recent reoccurrence was sudden and rapid.

My heart goes out to her husband and son.
