I didn't mean to stop the thread in its tracks with that news. Charles was 78, lived what can be termed a "good life," and died peacefully in his sleep. What more could one ask for? I thought perhaps Deckman might find a good lutefisk song in that apparently bottomless paper database he's working from at home. Or maybe it's time to see if I can find a Stan Boreson tape around here. If anyone intentionally sang about lutefisk, it could be he. Or Ivar. Anything in that fifty-cent book that might suit, Bob?
