I was greatly saddened this morning to learn that
Rose Paterson had passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting her three years ago while we and our families were both visiting her brother in Northumberland. She was a lovely and talented person, who, among her accomplishments,
once crossed Mongolia on horseback. As she lived near
Ellesmere, Shropshire,
here is her obituary in the Shropshire Star. My sympathy to her family.
