Well, since I wasn't around the 'Cat when this thread originated, I'll tardily add my voice to the chorus. Well said, everyone! Sandy and Caroline -- and we can't forget dear Lee Haggerty, who helped underwrite Folk Legacy 40 years ago -- are incomparable friends, to their host of friends, and to the folk music world as a whole. To Rick's initial list I need to add (from personal experience):

11. Rescuing 18-year-old Dutch girls from the clutches of the Calvinists. (ask Sandy sometime)

My life is richer for your friendship. Thanks for being there -- and here's to 40 more years! (The anniversary, by the way, is on Hallowe'en. Somebody should have a party...) Love to you, Kathy
