I used to have one of her commemorative key rings, picked up on a trip to UTMB when I was a medical writer. It gave metal detectors at the courthouse fits when I forgot to remove it, so I stopped carrying it. But I didn’t forget the Elissa. One of these days, I might even get to take a ride, though I’ll leave climbing the rigging to the younger ones.
