Bobbie M. Rucker (1923-2008) passed away on November 12 from heart stroke, after which she declined life support treatments. She was a dedicated Burroughs Bibliophile, contributing articles to the BUROUGHS BULLETIN and attending many Dum-Dums, including the memorable visit to Greystoke Castle in 1988. Pictured below is a photo of her hand-crafted miniature of Tarzan's birth cabin, carefully researched from her reading of Tarzan of the Apes. Her sense of humor was refreshing, and she referred to Edgar Rice Burroughs as "the sole remaining prop of my declining years." May she rest in peace. ... "Ye Editor"
