Cindy Zackowitz
May 28, 1965 - September 23, 2012
It was with great sorrow that we learned of Cindy's death on September 23, 2012. Here are Cindy's words about how much she loved haiku. We are all blessed to be able to have the legacy of that love through the work she shared with the haiku community worldwide.

Taku Winds
These winds occur an average of four times a year from October through April in Southeast Alaska. Hurricane force wind gusts (72 mph or greater) occur roughly once every two years during these Taku wind events. Taku winds produce strong wind shear and turbulence that can affect the operation of air transportation in the area. Taku winds can also cause dangerous marine weather conditions. The Taku River, just south of Juneau, was named after the cold t'aakh wind, which occasionally blows down from the mountains.
