SAD NEWS
May 7th, 2009I was traveling all day yesterday to Orange Park, FL (just outside Jacksonville) when I learned that my agent, Nancy Gallt’s husband, Craig Virden, passed away yesterday. Too young, too sad … my heart goes out to Nancy and her children, Emily and Sam. For those who don’t know, Craig was a leading light in children’s publishing. Here’sa link to his obituary in Publisher’s Weekly. http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6656741.html
I’m just glad I got to meet him.
Happier thoughts soon … I’ll have some R & R in St. Augustine this weekend!
And I need to catch up on my trip to DePere, WI … having a problem with my photo program.

Hi Betty,
Craig was my agent too. I signed with him just three weeks ago. I was so upset by the news. He was a special person. I never had a chance to meet him and I will always regret that.
Take care,
Hilary Wagner

What a loss. I’m so sorry, Hilary. I am lucky that I got to meet him.
