Kath is simply numero uno in my book. I met her through Sandy and Caroline (natch) and Heather and I consider her one of our dearest friends. On our last visit to Washington, she put up with me whining about the flu. Hopefully I'll be in much better shape in October. You're right 'traveller', she never calls attention to herself, and has helped out a lot of folks.

Amongst the many, I'm also going to centre out Barb and Frank Shaw down in Southern Ct. Generous welcoming folk. Like Kath, they make the "folk world" a great place to be.
