I agree.  The last thing she said about it on the list is from April 27, 
and that she was "just finishing [it] up":

> Catherine,

Also, I wonder about her notes.  She was *the* person for Osage, and she 
must have a great deal of unpublished primordial material that would be 
invaluable to preserve.
