Quick post from work...

DW my sincere condolences, there are precious few words that can help. I know your grief, take what comfort you can from us here, because we care.

I enjoy this community very much. Some people exercise caution before confiding personal information, and that is reasonable. Since I am easy to find I do not mind meeting strangers, and have no fear of doing so. After travelling all over the world in rough places, I have no fear of meeting people from Mudcat, It would be a pleasure. I shall be delighted to meet any of you that travel to Halifax. Yours,(Friendly Mariner)Aye. Dave
