Peter Paul and MaryWho among us has not had their childhood touched by “Puff, the Magic Dragon”?  I know I used to sing it often in childhood.  It is with great wistfulness and not a little bit of sadness that I consider that Mary Travers has left us after a four-year battle with leukemia that saw her bravely confronting the disease with a bone marrow transplant.  Ultimately, she died from complications from chemotherapy, which probably has something to do with how very much leukemia as a disease wears down those it inhabits. Bravo for your brave, lengthy battle, Ms. Travers, and thanks for what you gave all of us in your time here.
