My claim to fame in the BookCrossing world is that I got a tell-a-friend referral and passed it on to some other friends. One joined, and then got me to actually join after her. You may have heard of her? She goes by the screen name of bookczuk.

Note from the family and friends of semicolon:

Our beloved Gretchen finally lost her fight with cancer on June 11, 2006. We hope she is now pain free, and surrounded by laughter, light, books, cats and chocolate. She will be missed by her family, by the friends she made in this life and by the many, many children she helped guide, shape and mold during her life as a teacher. God Speed, Gretchen. Rest in Peace.
