Ramona Bell was 47

Art Bell's beloved wife of fifteen years, Ramona, died unexpectedly last night after an asthma attack. At present, the exact cause of Mrs. Bell's death has not been determined. It apparently took place during her sleep. Until her death, Art and Ramona Bell had not been apart a day since they were married. Mrs. Bell had suffered from asthma for years, and took her normal steps to control the attack, which occurred sometime last night in Laughlin, Nevada where the Bells were taking a brief vacation. Ramona Bell was 47 years old.

I am one of millions who appreciate Art Bell for his pioneering broadcast work, for his continued courage and role in promoting open minds with an open mike, allowing us to talk freely of things for which some of us thought ourselves "over the edge" at times.

My sincere condolences to Art and to Ramona's mother.
