How I miss her acerbic wit, and her generous humor. I went to hear her speak a few years ago when she came to Albany to benefit the Breast Cancer foundation. It was obvious that she was fighting the disease herself at that time. There'll never be another like her. I’d like to nominate Molly Ivins. How I miss her acerbic wit, and her generous humor.

Err, broom? Jane--That's such a great story, and I can't wait to check out the movie. I'll have to add it to the SisterFlicks list, as well. Thanks so much for sharing your connection to the witchy sisterhood. Anastasia–does that mean that one day you’ll be picking up the witchy mantel? Err, broom?

Jane–That’s such a great story, and I can’t wait to check out the movie. I’ll have to add it to the SisterFlicks list, as well. Thanks so much for sharing your connection to the witchy sisterhood.

One of my family relatives was Rebecca Nurse who was also hanged during this time. Her homestead is a museum in Danvers (http://www.rebeccanurse.org/RNurse/AboutUs.htm) The interesting footnote is that her sister, Sarah, petitioned the crown for reparations for her sister's death. A movie was mad of this story starring Vanessa Redgrave (http://www.amazon.com/Three-Sovereigns-Sarah-Story-Trials/dp/B00004R5SK) It is a beautiful story of the love between sisters. Hi Paige,

She dressed up as a Salem Witch every Halloween--a tradition that's since been passed down to my mother. coincidentally, my grandmother’s married name was Salem (she’s on my IWD honoree list), and we always called her the Salem Witch (as a compliment).
