Dixie
Dixie holds the Key to the City of San Francisco, presented
to her after she won the admiration of the country for her part
in promoting peace and ameliorating racial tensions in San
Francisco. The mayor said that Dixie "simply had to be the most
remarkable woman in San Francisco."*
Dix is a native of Washington State now living in sunny
California; widowed for years, with three lovely adult
daughters and two adorably cherubic
grandchildren. Her hobbies include: Tim Curry, Rowan Atkinson,
writing, drawing, painting, reading, knitting, crocheting, and
photography. She has had twenty poems published, in "The Armchair Detective," "The Outlaw Gazette," and
"Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine."**
