On August 18th of 2012, Becky Kemery passed away after a long battle with cancer. She was a very gentle soul and will be greatly missed by her friends and family.
Becky was known by many as the yurt lady; a de facto source of yurt knowledge. Her book ‘Living in the Round‘ is the bible for yurt information.
My name is Jeff Capron. A few years ago I decided to look into a yurt to put on a piece of property I have up in the Adirondacks. It did not take long before I found this site and www.yurtinfo.org. These two sites had the most helpful information when it came to learning about yurts and without access to them, I probably would not have even purchased one. Shortly after I ordered my yurt, I started a discussion forum at www.yurtforum.com to talk about my experience. After Becky’s passing, I heard that the status of her two sites was uncertain. I feared that all the hard work she put in on her sites might just disappear. I made some inquiries with her estate and they agreed to let me take over the operations of them.
I must say that I am not 100% sure on how to proceed. I expect that I will be slowly making subtle changes as time goes by. I think Becky would not want the information on these sites to get stale or invalid. I hope I can keep her memory alive as well as build upon her body of work. I am open to any suggestions her friends and followers may have. Feel free to contact me any time.
