raise a glass

Link to the New York Times obit for Barbara Remington, cover illustrator of the 1965 editions of LotR and The Hobbit. I originally read it on my phone - Google throws random news items at me, this one was worth pausing for - and wanted to do a post but wasn't able to copy the link. Nice to find it again today on Middle-earth News. She must have been so interesting to talk with. Strong, independent, talented... I looked at her photograph and thought lord, woman, you have really lived life!
