R.I.P. Marian Parry, 100? (illus: "The Space Child's Mother Goose")

[Lenona]

This matches with both Radaris and the street address I had for her in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.

But, again, there's no death date!

(I THINK I saw some site that said she made it to 100...)

Her husband's name was Maury Feld. He was a librarian who died in 2005.

(about her work, from 2016)

"The Space Child's Mother Goose" was written by Frederick Winsor
(1900-1958), an MIT architect.

https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/winsor_frederick

"US architect, anthologist and poet, the main author of The White House
at Pooh Corner (performed 1938; 1938 chap) with Richard H Field, a
mildly Satirical spoof play in verse on Politics in the years
approaching World War Two. He is best known for the witty sf Parody
Poetry assembled as The Space Child's Mother Goose (coll 1958 chap), the
most sustained poem being a version of 'This is the House that Jack
Built' in which Cybernetics is evoked to demolish what looks very much
like an edifice of Scientific Errors."

FWIW Poem 30 in my printed book opens with "This is the Theory Jack
built."

The coda in my book is shown below - slightly adulterated to fit my
agenda. Purists who are stumped by my adulteration can "just google
it." There's a good chance disinformation site Wikipedia contains a
correct version, too. YMMV.

This is the Space-Child with Brow Serene
Who pushed the Button to start the Machine
That made with the Cybernetics and Stuff
Without Confusion, exposing the Bluff
That hung on the Turn of a Plausible Phrase
And, Shredding the Erudite Verbal Haze
Cloaking Constant K,
Wrecked the Summary
Based on the Mummery
Hiding the Flaw
And Demolished the Theory [Frank] built.

Poem 33 is a favorite:

The Colloid and the Crystalloid
Were fighting just in jest
The Colloid called the Crystalloid
A Pseudo-Anapest

Some called them physical
And some thought them chemic-
And some said the whole affair
Was slightly academic.

Danke,

Mistake - one site said she died in March of 2021, aged 97.

Another site, Truthfinder, seems to back it up pretty well. That is, it
said her age was 97, and it agrees with Radaris that she lived in
Cambridge, Seattle and Houston. Most importantly, it lists her husband's
name - Maury Feld - and the names Laura and Andrew, which match her
children's names.

Specifically, it was Truepeoplesearch.

(Why do so many OTHER sites not list death dates?)
