I met Mary when I signed up for a UNICEF drive while in high school. We met on Agua Alegre and long story short I ended up sailing to southern California with Mary, her boat partner Sally Watson and Mark Trabing in 1971. Later, I lived on her boat for a few months while she was in the Caribbean. She told me stories of her cabin in Alaska and working in Manzanar detention camp. She was an incredible role model for a young high school kid. She told me one time "Don't live your life regretting things, there are better things to do."
The last time I saw her out and about she was on her bike in 1996 in Westside Santa Cruz. She would have been 80 then.
She filled her life to the top and overflowing.
I have some wonderful pictures of her if you would like to see them.

"Mrs. Duffield" was the best thing that happened to me in high school....journalism!
Even though 57 years have gone by since graduation, her memory is as vivid as the picture in this tribute. I did visit her 10 years ago....same as ever...including that same distinct chuckle.
I made a career out of that journalism base....and enjoyed sharing some of those successes with her on that visit a decade ago.
R.I.P Mrs Duffield....
