Don, I appreciate that you took the time to do a "eulogy" for us. I did not know El Prado well but I did exchange emails with her several times. She did enjoy talking about her prowess on a pool table and let's face it - that alone made Kathy a unique woman!
At any rate, I just want to say that I found Kathy's candor refreshing and her willingness to reach out admirable. Unfortunately, it was apparent that she had serious health issues even though it was really difficult to understand the extent or exact nature of her ailments.
Rest in peace, El Prado.
