Hi Jim - I too am saddened to hear of your prognosis and that you are now
writing the last chapter of your life.  Thank-you for your responses,
posts, your wit and thoughts - all truly enjoyed fully by the members of
this list - and they will live on through archived emails on many a subject
which I have saved since 2006.

For some reason I am thinking about you driving your van and making the
first tracks in freshly fallen snow.

Warm thoughts,

Bruce Todd
