KATHLEEN ADAMS (ALVAREZ), ASH
Remembering Mary Morstan, 1949-1992
by Pat Moran
We deeply regret to announce the death of Kate Adams (or Kate Alvarez, as we first knew her in the mid-70s). Energy, kindliness, humor, and generosity characterized her. Invested as our “Mary Morstan“, Kate was a staunch Watsonian. No ASH dinner she attended went without a proper toast to the good doctor and, when she moved beyond commuting distance, her influence ensured that the toasts were continued by other right-minded members.
In the world, Kate was a nurse, a demanding profession. Characteristically, she was attempting to help the victim of a traffic accident when she was herself struck and killed. The world can’t afford to lose a person like her, and neither can we. Our sympathy goes to her family, especially her son Josh. She will be missed.
