Dear Mrs. Willeford,
As a long time member of Rara-Avis, I found this e-mail back
in November and I have kept it since I wanted to write to you
just in case that you are the wife of Charles
Willeford.
Many years ago (early 80's) there was a 4-days Murder Mystery
writers conference in Key West, Florida that I attended.
Several other famous writers were there with your husband,
who passed away a few months later. I had always loved his
books and as a friend of several French writers and "noir"
publishers in France, had followed his writings and was
delighted to see and hear him at the conference. I also
remember that you both came down every morning for breakfast
in the quiet hotel vast dining room and I made a point to be
there everyday, just to somehow share this quiet moment with
both of you as you prepared for the day of meetings and
events.
I simply wanted to let you know how much these moments were
important to me, how his writing to this day is always both a
reference and a pure joy and I feel blessed to have seen both
of you in those moments of quiet life together. These images
of your couple have stayed with me and served as guides in my
own personal life. With my deepest heart I thank you and
thank him for these wonderful moments and wish you a Bonne
Ann�e for you and your whole family.
