Famous Musician John McLaughlin said:
I’ve known of Kate Powers for 40 years ever since I arrived in the Principality, and personally for the past 25 years. What a delightful human being she was! My culinary and metaphysical experiences with her in Stars & Bars are too numerous to note, but my memories of meditating with Kate, eating with Kate and playing games with her and o many others who loved and admired her are written in my heart. I will always miss her.
