Margaret Shadow has passed away.

She was loved in her chosen city of Ruston, Louisiana and will be missed. I was out of town and was not able to attend the funeral. Today I received the following comment from Taylor Bennington. I am using this blog to answer the note. Taylor, I am so sorry to pass on the sad news. How did Margaret become a celebrity in your city? She was a celebrity here.

Dear Prune Picker,

We hate to sound so harsh, but is Margaret still living? I am a reporter with our local newspaper here in Ohio and she has become somewhat of a local celebrity and we would like to interview her.

Feel free to email me at tbenn96@gmail.com

I am giving a link to some of the posts that I posted over the years with Margaret as the subject. She was a favorite subject for me. She was a favorite person for me. She was a fellow prune picker. She was born in Santa Monica, California.
