Is that "darn" because you loved her novels and you'll miss her? Or, is it "darn" I didn't have her on my Dead Pool list?

I really didn't realize she was Trumans' daughter until I heard a piece on the radio about it today though on NPR. The announcer went on to say that she evidently tried her hand at singing and some critic or reporter/reviewer did NOT give her a good review. Truman wrote him a letter and told him, "I'd like to meet you some day because I want to break your nose."

Gee Harry Truman...he was President when I was born. \:o I don't remember a thing about him though, honest. \:p

That incident with Harry Truman got a lot of press. Harry was really miffed. Margaret, I believe, actually sang at Carnegie Hall.

I remember her as a writer though. She wrote a series of whodunnits, the titles of which all started with "Murder at..." and ended with various D.C. locations or landmarks, like the White House, Georgetown or the National Cathedral. I think I read most of them. They weren't masterpieces, but they were interesting and well written.
