I Lost a Good Friend when Eileen Ramsay Passed Away

It was with great sadness that I learned Eileen Ramsay had passed away. Among the many Scottish writers I now rub elbows with, she was my first friend in the writing community. That was way back in 1989. And she was a good friend who provided me with a great deal of encouragement to embark on my own writing career, but I was not the only writer she helped. There were many others.

Eileen led an interesting and varied life. She was born in the southwest of Scotland and had ambitions to write from an early age.
