 Diane Livingston died on 1/18/12
 I'm sad to say that my older sister Diane Livingston died on 
                  January 18, 2012, most likely of a heart attack. She was 64. 
                  Diane majored in art at Wayne State in the 60's, and was active 
                  in the art & music scene.
 After 
                    college, Diane took off for San Francisco, working odd jobs. 
                    One stint was running the light show at the Fillmore. I remember 
                    her returning to Grosse Pointe with vinyl by newcomers Dylan, 
                    Joplin, Jefferson Airplane. I was duly impressed by her and 
                    this new music. In 
                    the early 70's, we shared a flat on infamous 4th Street, and 
                    I met many of her very cool friends. (You know who you are!) In 
                    the late 70's Di joined me in Los Angeles, where she worked 
                    for Van Halen in their heydey, touring with them. She returned 
                    to Michigan, proofreading for a publishing company and Metro 
                    Times. She spent her last decade in a small farming town in 
                    southern Illinois, where our cousins cared for her. 
 We will have a memorial service for Diane when our parents 
                    return to Michigan this summer. Her Detroit friends plan to 
                    have a get-together before then. We'll post details.
