Daun Gay Kendig

My sister Daun died on April 3, 2002, having worked hard to live fully every minute until then. 
She asked that we remember her and help Bess remember her, and I hope this site will do that as well as provide a resource for her many friends,
who were such a source of strength to her, always, but especially her last two years. 

Daun and me at NCA in SF, early 1990's.. She had taught me to dress better by then. (See  photo, r.)

This is Daun and me the summer of 1954. As you can see, she always dressed well.
