Yep, I found a reference from the Sotherby's auction that said the following: "The witchcraft books include a first edition of one of the most famous, Malleus Maleficarum, the Hammer of Witches, published in 1487". Lots of women were killed and tortured after the publication of this book. How many women were killed, no one knows, but the terror in women of the day must have been overwhelming. For whatever reason, to be cast as a witch by a neighbor, church official, politician, or a so called friend lead to a terrible experience which ended in a tragic death.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
