Yes, a very nice obituary/tribute.

Really well done obit for Ms. Doreen Spooner 5/3/19 by Sam Roberts. Ms. Spooner no doubt used a Speed Graphic but it is doubtful she used glass plates. More likely she used 4x5 sheet film in film holders or a 4x5 film pack. Glass plates were still available but used mostly for scientific photography by the time Ms. Spooner began her career."
