Been a long weekend of loss, these first few days of September 2023. Jimmy Buffett. Bill Richardson. Steve Harwell. And Marilyn Lovell, a formidable and gracious leader among the astronauts’ wives in the 1960s and early 1970s.
I met Richardson and Buffett, through work, years ago. But Lowell, whose husband was Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, ought to be remembered more. I was glad The New York Times gave her a great obit.
