DIANE PETERSON
One of MBS' most popular
members: Diane Peterson
passed away on February 18,
2006 in her Atherton, California
home, after a courageous strug-
gle with cancer. She was 73
years old and is survived by
her husband Bill, a retired fire-
fighter and amateur vintner.
Diane was the daughter of a
U.S. army doctor and grew up
in Hawaii. She began as a col-
lector, but she found that she
enjoyed bookselling more. Her
business was called "The Book
Lady". She became a major
dealer of miniature books.
When her cancer spread to her
bones and she could barely
walk, she still attended every
Conclave in the last few years,
set up her Book Fair tables and
participated in all Conclave
activities. After the Toronto
Conclave in 2003, she had the
energy and courage not only to
come on the post-Conclave
Niagara trip, but to make the
northern excursion on the Polar
Bear Express.
Throughout her illness, she
remained cheerful, with no
trace of self-pity. She asked
that there be no memorial serv-
ice for her. Still, we will
remember her as one of MBS'
best. Farewell, Book Lady!mbs newsletter July 2006 1 5
