Feb. 18, 1997

Emily Hahn died on February 18, 1997. Hahn was an adventurous American writer, when such junketing around was unusual. As a young adult she lived in China, and there had a Siamese cat named Jocasta. I am not sure of Jocasta's fate, during a revolutionary period, but Hahn would casually leave her children later, and perhaps her maternal instincts flowed a little shallow. She worked at her office at the New Yorker daily into her eighties.
