I'm grateful that I got to meet Sue in the summer of '92, just a couple of months before she left Lubbock for New York. I got to hear her read her poetry at the local bookstore and then when we met we discovered we were born in the same year and grew up in the same part of Texas. I got to see how happy she was spending time with her children - once at an outdoor musical, and again at an impromptu concert by Bill and Bonnie Hearne in a Mexican Restaurant. I even got to hear her sing in a full operatic soprano voice. And when she left Lubbock she gave me a book of poetry from her personal collection all marked up with her comments in the margins. I told her she shouldn't be giving me her personal copy but she said, "That's the idea."
