"In some manner he had learned of my own sad bereavement..." [EMPT]

Last Friday, May 26, 2006, the Sherlockian world lost one of its own. Trish Pearlman, ASH ("A Curious Collection") passed beyond the Reichenbach.

Trish was a founding member of the Mini-Tonga Society, a group of collectors of Sherlockian miniatures. She was also a member of a number of New York-area scion societies with her husband and fellow co-conspirator, Jay.

I didn't have the honor of knowing Trish personally, so I would invite any interested reader to add his or her memories of Trish in the Comments section below.
