Subject: A death in our family

� I'm sad to inform y'all that we have lost a treasured member of our community.

� LouiZe Christensen, originally from Rochester NY, and an Atlanta
resident for 20 years died in a private plane crash in Ghent NY
yesterday afternoon.

� LouiZe was a graphic designer, drummer extraordinare and free spirit
who lived either in her '90 Westy or on her sailboat if she happened
to be between rented carriage houses.� She was also known to occupy
our condo every now and then, taking care of the place when we were on
a road trip.

� And, for those of you who never met her, she was _a force of nature_.

� Don't believe me?� Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KkalOrNlzo

� Just a blur at 40 seconds into the video, leading the band.

� Ya shoulda been there.

George & Jo/ATL
