I appreciate the obituaries very much. For those who don't care to receive them, they are always clearly identified in the subject line, and properly dated- it would seem a minor task to just delete them if you aren't interested. And, while it's on my mind, a way overdue thank you to Carolyn for all the time, effort, and commitment she has put into posting them to the list. Please continue. And again, thank you Carolyn for your dedication and hard work in the interest of the list members.
