Ann's mother died a few days ago so I might have missed mention but this was around over a week ago.

Please send our condolences to Ann.

Chuck, I too send my condolences to you, Ann and her family.

[Chuck Nessa]

Thanks but the real news concerns Randy, Roscoe, Craig and the others.

Sorry the lead was buried (with my mother in law)!

Puts the award to Terry Teachout in context, doesn't it?

No.
