It pains me terribly to hear this news and to have to share it. I
just learned that Kathleen O'keefe, the co-founder of the Phnom Penh
Post, died yesterday after a bout with cancer. Kathleen was only 54. She
died too young. Without Kathleen the Post would never have gotten off
the ground nor would it have survived all those difficult years in the
nineties and beyond. My heart and sympathies go out to Jason because, at
the very least, I know they found a substantial measure of happiness together, something both of them richly deserved.
I saw a notice in the Boston Globe and it included a space for sending
condolences which I assume her family in Massachusetts would see. I
know they would appreciate hearing from all of Kathleen's friends from
all over the globe.
I don't know what else to say right now
except that this is a very sad day. Even after our own difficulties, I
feel overwhelmed with grief.
