		Kerr was an essayist and hugely successful Broadway playwright, wife of The New York Time' Pulitzer Prize-winning theater critic Walter Kerr, and mother of six lively children.
		In reading Kerr, I always imagined her as the ideal next-door neighbor, someone who--armed only with a teapot, a couple of macaroons, and a medicinal bottle of Scotch--could transform your backed-up sewer drain from a heart- and budget-breaking disaster into prime anecdotal material.
		When Kerr wrote about homemaking, childrearing, and writing (and that sometimes thorny point in the Venn diagram where all three intersect), she always sounded like a smart, funny woman who was enjoying herself enormously.

		Jean Kerr was the epitome of the great gal, back in an era of great gals.
		Kerr's essays made the combination of literature and motherhood seem as easy as falling off a log--and far less likely to result in broken bones.
		Kerr acknowledged the frustrations of life among the preschool set: "I'm sick of talking about milk," she crabbed ruefully in a passage on her vain attempts to make conversation at the family dinner table.
