Was "Susan" her  forum name?    I pictured her in my mind and pics in the article are dead on.

Wow. You just never know, do you? Fascinating read. And the comments are priceless. Thank you for sharing.

Hey! I had the same Bass Guitar as Felix Pappalardi. Mine was a 1964 Hofner, serial #041. I bought it in Liverpool and sold it in Vancouver in the 1990's at a very good profit. The salesman at the consignment shop said it was sold to a member of The Waterboys, were a very respected band playing both Celtic and Rock and Roll.

Delta lived a very isolated, reclusive, and in IMO lonely lifestyle here for 10+ years. I only knew one person that knew her very well (as well as anybody here), but other than that, I hardly believe anyone knew she existed.
Whether or not, she posted on the boards, I do not know.

She only lived in the Ajijic area since about 2004.

Bump

Not sure how reclusive she was as she worked for Diane Pearl for a number of years, held fashion shows at Roberto's Restaurant and briefly had her own store in the dog shelter when it was located next to Arden's.

If this is the Delta I met on occasion, both in her short lived shop and at Roberto's, she was quite outgoing and personable. She was stylish and a pleasant woman to chat with. I can't imagine her being described as isolated or reclusive. I heard some time ago that she was dying of cancer. R.I.P., Delta.

According to the article she left instructions that her cats be euthanized so their ashes could be mixed with hers....
