I have just got back from the UK after ten days. My father died on May 3, some two years after my mother. It was not an accident. Over the past few weeks I have been swapping albums and receiving kind words from fellow Mudcatters. I have not been able to get back to everyone yet, so please be patient if you are still waiting to hear from me. It is quite a comfort to be making new friends at a time when so much is changing. I guess when one road closes there are others to go down. For the time being I'll just say thanks to everyone. Alan.
