Oh, Art, thanks so much for going to the trouble to reconstruct your post! Although I think Sandy meant as much to me in quality as to you, our friendship didn't have the same duration. Thanks for giving us a flavor of those earlier times! Don't worry. I've heard Sandy & Caroline speak of you many times. They know your love for them & the feeling is very mutual! I'm glad you did your retirement first & had some good times before the MS moved in. Sandy gave me an interesting piece of advice once, too!

love,

Barbara
