Yes, Leslie.
I've spent a lot of time today reading about Leslie Harpold. It looks like this year's Advent calendar won't be finished.
She had an amazing life, not all good but all full. I didn't know her well--she was a friend of friends--but last year when we were both planning our escapes from the Bay Area to the Upper Midwest, we shared reasons and advice and good wishes. Like many of her Internet friends, I almost got around to meeting her.
Another thing I wanted advice on last year was charitable giving. She recommended Modest Needs, a highly efficient anti-poverty organization that seeks mostly small donations and uses them to help people in need with small emergency expenses. If you can spare money for a good cause this holiday season/tax year, you might do it here and think of Leslie.
