Another good one gone

Rico says you go looking for one thing (in this case, a URL for Ted Kaehler, who Rico knew in high school and at CMU, also when Ted was at Xerox PARC, and at Apple) and find quite another:
My first wife, Carol Nasby Kaehler, died in 1991 of diabetes. She had the priviledge of being on the Macintosh team, and she wrote the original Macintosh Owners Guide. It's the thin little book that floats down beside a Mac in contrast to three heavy IBM PC manuals in an early television commercial. Carol built the beautiful HyperCard Help System that was included in version 1.0 of HyperCard.
Carol was a very nice person; Rico says he's sorry to hear she's gone.
