Sorry it's taken me a little while to respond to this thread; I was out of
town. How Dr. Angelou should be referred to in her bio article has

persistence, diligence and intellectual effort that has been applied to
produce such a fine result. In other words - dare I say it - the whole

Christine, that's truly awesome. :-)
I've watched you working on the Maya Angelou topic for years now, and

for her article to be on the main page on her birthday as a feature article!
