When I saw this board lit up with 9 messages, I had no idea it would be SmoothSail. This is so sad to hear! She and I had many PMs over the years about many topics we shared in common. She was a copy editor and worked on many TV scripts such as Gunsmoke. Her father was an AP journalist who brought many notable people in and out of her life. I always admired her posts for both their content and clarity of thought. I often think of her when I'm about to add an adjective in a sentence because as an editor of manuscripts she had a disdain for filler words like very or really. Most memorable thing was that she patiently helped me edit a short poem I had written some years prior that I wanted to enter in an online contest. With her help, it came in first place. She was delighted. It was and maybe will be my only literary achievement. I will miss her.
