Patricia Busacker, one of the sweetest people I have ever known, died this

morning after a long fight with cancer.

It is Patricia’s voice you hear on the CD of 36 Great American Poems that I, Jim Cooke (Patricia’s

husband) and she produced.

In Patricia’s memory, I am going to donate all proceeds from sales of the CD

through the end of this year to a charity to be designated by Jim, along

with the nearly $300 currently sitting in my PayPal account.
