The staff of Parade magazine mourns the loss of a friend and colleague. Julia Child, one of America's best loved chefs, was a television icon, a cookbook author, and food editor of Parade from 1982 to 1986. Her column, ``From Julia Child's Kitchen,'' gave Americans an extra dose of Julia's unique style, character, and culinary expertise. She remained a friend to Parade throughout the years.
