Learning from Margaret Whitlam

Margaret Whitlam died yesterday after living a full life of ninety-two years. I didn’t know her though I offer condolences to those who mourn her. A well-written obituary by Malcolm Farr is available here and the eulogies at her impending funeral will doubtless be corkers.
