Many, many thanks to Riobard. I know about my kin from your work and thanks to you Bill for all that you have done to continue Riobards work. God bless you both from an 83 year old.

Riobard has assured me, in a private note, that he'll still be here reading, and sometimes commenting. But as a young lad of 80 summers, he has a lot to do and wishes to devote more time to doing it.

It's a kind and generous thing you say, Riobard, but the plain truth is none of us would be here reading this mailing list if not for your life's work of dedicated scholarship. Whatever happens here in time to come will be -- in some form or fashion -- a derivative of that amazing body of work. -- Bill ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

many, many thanks, Riobard! I have enjoyed your comments and your poetry. May you find enjoyment as you move to other things. Bill, again, I appreciate your faithful efforts toward the list. In fact I am on this list largely because of the excellent people; I do wish I could find some Beara ancestor and come close some times, but it doesn't quite pan out. Thank you, all.
