This is a tribute to a very talented person, and one who unknowingly both to me and to her, had a great impact on my life. This person was Anna Riphahn. She was a gifted artist, musician, and author. For years, I never liked Anna, because I always hated hearing what she could do. It took her death for me to realize that I admired her. Early Monday, November 23, 1998, she was killed in a car accedent as she was coming back from a Billy Joel concert in Chicago. She was killed instantly, being thrown out of the car. The entire article is here. They do her some justice, but not enough. I just want everyone to know that Anna will be greatly missed, not only by me, but by the hundreds of others who she touched. Anna, wherever you may be, we'll miss you, and we love you.
