Since I have been out of the country in Japan and Korea, I only just
   now noticed that Rose Director Friedman [1]passed away yesterday. Rose
   was, of course, best known as Milton Friedman's wife of 68 years. But
   she was also a successful economist in her own right, and coauthor of
   some of her husband's most famous works, including [2]Free to Choose
   , probably the most successful popular work defending free market
   economics. She was also, along with Milton, a prominent advocate of
   numerous important pro-liberty causes. In her last years, she helped
   found and lead the [3]Friedman Foundation, an organization devoted to
   promoting school choice.

   I would like to extend my sympathies to Rose Friedman's family,
   friends, and colleagues. She will be sorely missed.

A sad day for Libertarians. She was a heck of a woman.
