R.I.P. Pauline Friedman Phillips (1919-2013)

 
Via The Washington Post:
 
Pauline Friedman Phillips, who under the name of Abigail Van Buren, wrote the long-running “Dear Abby” advice column that was followed by millions of newspaper readers throughout the world, has died. She was 94.
Publicist Gene Willis of Universal Uclick said Phillips died Wednesday after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.


I read the "Dear Abbey" column a lot when I was a kid, and I always loved her pithy, helpful replies to people's issues-even the stupid ones...ESPECIALLY the stupid ones.


God Bless.
