Thank you, Heather, for sharing that. I'm glad that Rick (& you) got a sense of our love & caring. I was very moved by the awareness of where the Internet has taken us. I think that a community like Mudcat has become is the best of what the Internet can enable. The idea that people all over the world came together in person, by phone, by email, & just by listening--all focused to express our love & support. I was ready to give that support, but it wouldn't have been possible without you, Paul, Borealis, CIUT, & others cooperating. Yes, it was a very special evening!

love from New York,

Barbara
