Cindy_Hanson Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Laura Tidwell, an active greyhound volunteer in the San Antonio area and one of Celebrating Greyhounds Magazine's copy editors, passed away on Sunday. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September. She resigned from our staff as we were putting together the Fall issue, anticipating that she would have until about the end of the year to "get her house in order and spend time with Joe and the kids." Laura was a sharp editor and always raised great questions--particularly on the medical articles, which were her favorite. She was fun to work with, too; she had a great sense of humor, and she loved her dogs. Last year, I traveled to San Antonio on business and got to spend some time with Laura in her stomping grounds. She drove me around all the seedy parts of town while we caught up on greyhound news, and then we had dinner at a terrific Mexican restaurant. A young woman with a basketful of souvenirs for sale approached our table. "Oh, you should have something to remember this," said Laura. She pulled a flashing wand out of the basket and handed it to me. I still have that wand, sitting on my desk here at work. After Laura told me of her diagnosis, sometimes I'd look at that wand, wishing it were magic. As a reminder of a colleague and friend whose absence is keenly felt, I suppose it is.
