In response to someone who sent an email suggesting that her name was incorrectly spelled, I requested confirmation from her, through a third party, on the correct spelling of her name. I am informed that, in spite of appearing variously, the correct spelling is "Winifred" (with only 1 n) although her nickname "Winnie" uses two n's. This is now consistent.

One the issue of climate change: "It is real. It is tremendously damaging to everything and to people in all walks of life and all economic levels."
