CATHERINE GLENDON

We regret to announce the death of Catherine Glendon.

Who was Catherine Glendon?

Catherine Glendon was one of the women who ran the coffeebar at the Hirschfeld Centre.

Who was Catherine Clendon?

Catherine Glendon was a friend to all - an enemy to none.

Who was Catherine Glendon?

Catherine Glendon was a person who treated everyone, gays, straights, transvestites, as people. She interfered in nobody's business but had a ready ear to listen to all our troubles. No matter how busy she was, she never stinted the few minutes needed to give a friendly word of encouragement to all of us with problems. To our muttered words of thanks she responded with that selfdeprecating laugh that we all knew so well.

Who was Catherine Glendon? Catherine Glendon was my friend. I am proud to have known her and apologise to none because I mourn her with unmanly tears. Of her may it be said in a slight rewriting of the oration for the fallen.

"She shall grow not old as we who are left grow old.

Age shall not weary her or the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember her."
