I like this episode mostly because it reminds me of the word “epistolary” (which means the practice of writing letters) and the advice column known as Dear Abby, which was started in 1956 by Pauline Phillips (under the pen name of Abigail Van Buren); her daughter Jeanne took over the column in 2002 after it was revealed that Pauline had Alzheimer’s disease. Eleven years later, on January 16, 2013, Pauline died at the age of 94, and Jeanne said that her mother “leaves very big high heels to fill with a legacy of compassion, commitment and positive social change. I will honor her memory every day by continuing this legacy.”
