Good grief.  I think you are right.  She was a big-eyed, grinning eight 
year old when I met her in 1995.  I haven't heard a word, but I think 
of Terry from time to time and still listen to the CDs.  I can still 
hear him singing "Firefly Summer Night" around a campfire in Durango, 
Colorado.  Some people remember where they were when they heard JFK was 
shot.  Oddly enough, I remember where I was when I learned that Terry 
died.  Partly because he was that kind of special, and partly because 
my own life was at a weird crux and felt almost like a death and 
rebirth.  What a loss to our lives to not have all the stories he'd 
still be sharing as Kelsi grew up.  I'm glad to hear Donal is still 
performing.
