A local woman, Morgana Dowd, was found dead in her home today in Santa Cruz. She was found by one of her three teenage children. Police are searching for her husband, Marshall Dowd, a lacrosse coach at Harbor High here in Santa Cruz. Click on the link to see a video update from the Sentinel; the story should be in the paper tomorrow.
Anyone who has seen Marshall Dowd recently should contact the Santa Cruz sheriff department.
Well, three of my kidlets are off to college this week, and I am very proud of them, but it has been hectic in Stregaland, so please forgive me for the lack of posts. I am also assiduously working on my book, which takes much of my energy.
BUT--I do plan to attend the Asha Veil memorial on Sunday, September 9th. I have a previous link and post about this; the service will be from 7:00 to 8:00 that day. Please wear white, and bring a flashlight in lieu of a candle, and possibly a flower to throw into the San Lorenzo River in memory of Asha and her baby.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
