Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 21, 2018 Rowenna Erickson — a former plural wife who co-founded what for a time was Utah’s most outspoken anti-polygamy organization, Tapestry Against Polygamy— died Jan. 27 in Taylorsville. She was 78. Tina Bessey, Erickson’s daughter, said on Monday her mother had suffered from Alzheimer’s and died at a care center. Erickson and other former plural wives, including Lillian Bowles and Vicky Prunty, were among the women who founded Tapestry Against Polygamy in 1998. They cited their own experiences as examples of what was wrong with the lifestyle. The word “Tapestry” was placed in the name to denote what the founders considered a mosaic of harsh stories woven around one theme — polygamy. SC 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not really sure how famous he is, but he did direct and produce "Tarka the Otter", so that'll probably get him an obituary. I don't know if anyone else remembers the children's TV programme "Woof!", but he directed that as well. Can't believe anyone ever doubted him: David Cobham dead at 87.
