Dear Companions,

Well I got the call around 11 PM last night that Mom had passed away.
Since family issues are still raw, I will only focus on the many years
of good times. I gained my love of reading, art and history, as we
burned up the wires of AT&T over the many years of book discussions. And
then there were field trips to events of interest.

I guess we all grieve in our own ways. Thank you for your support.

Florian
