Here's this year's list. Many of the items remain the same year after year. I've thought about increasing the length of the list to reflect her age: "42 Ways to Remember Gretchen, 43 Ways..." But I'm going to leave it at the number I assigned it in the first year of its invention. There's something in the rhythm of thirty-seven ways, and a list of fifty, sixty, seventy ways would be daunting to accomplish in a week of remembrance.
