I present the latest collection of quotes. Let all and sundry mourn the passing of Laura, friend to yours truly since age 16, employee of Lampstand Press for the past six summers, and now off to be a Hilldale senior and a who-knows-what-but-it-will-be-marvelous after that.

Laura, dear, I salute you. :-)
