Doc,
There are not many of us left standing and wishing to talk about the inevitable -- Death and Taxes. Taxes, I don't wihs to talk about as I don't wish to offend any governments. Death, that's different.
In a period of the last 5 years I have lost a few good friends. Some died young. Interestingly, I am still in contact with a friend I made, when we started to do Chinese Heritage work. He is turning 101 or is it 102? His mind is as sharp as ever. Even got girl friends in her 80s.
I value what ever friends I have left standing. I value our ability to communicate with each other -- just talk and no judgements.
I wil return. Grand daughter calling.
Regards, LG
