She was quite vehement in her opinion that a list had to have at least three items in it. The custom grew up that, whenever one of the members was going to post a two-item list, he would make it a three-item list by appending "Hi, Opal!" As can be seen, I still do that.)
FTR, Opal died yesterday. Requiem Aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetuae luceat eis. Requiescant in pace.
