Auf Wiedersehen, Good night, Peace Out!
Sadly, Maggie’s need for balance in her life means saying goodbye to her Maggie Rants blog.
Vicki
Though they didn’t always agree, Maggie can’t help but acknowledge Vicki Peters’ enormous contribution to our industry.

In the midst of all the holiday craziness, it was a great shock to learn of Vicki Peters’ passing.
Ms. Peters and I had long since agreed to disagree on many key issues in this industry — but then, I have made my reputation on disagreeing with people on key issues in our industry — nevertheless, she had incredible influence and she made amazing contributions to our business.
Vicki was an icon, a mentor, and a beloved personal friend to many of us. I did not expect her to leave us quite this soon. She will be sorely missed and our industry will never be quite the same without her.
