Well, pooh. I guess. It's exciting for her and certainly an honor, but you don't really want to lose her, either. So let's think about something more cheerful, like how cute Maisie is!
as I said, one never knows about these things...but curiously enough Margaret Babcock was the Rector at St. Matthews in Tucson, years back...and St. Matthews is for me the Back in the Saddle Church. So, that's an interesting symmetry and connection.
