Kathy was married, but I can't remember her married name. She passed away from cancer in the 80's - I remember an obit or letter saying that she was 37 when she died and I think it was ovarian cancer.

I visited with her in Santa Barbara in the 70's. She was married to an abalone diver/fisherman and still as beautiful and wild as a march hare when I saw her.

Many thanks to Whitney Maudsley for this information on Kathy Howard.
