Remembering Patricia Hubbell

I learned yesterday of the death last week of Connecticut children's author and poet Patricia Hubbell. 

Our paths crossed a few times in the early 2000s, beginning in 2004 when we were both nominated for the Connecticut Book Award. The next year she was a featured author at the Connecticut Book Fair. And two years later she was one of the writers at a Connecticut Author Reception hosted by the Connecticut Educational Media Association, which does not appear to have a web presence anymore. 

Patricia provided a quiet and calming presence. A presence that I always remembered.
