Tx you all for your thoughts, public and private. I truly appreciate the outreach, and agree with Bill that there is no good time – just when things happen.  Looking forward to our call, and glad to be back!

Kathy,

Sorry to hear about the medical emergency. There never is a good one or a good time for one. I hope all continues to go well.

Regards,

Bill

Dear All,

I wanted to express my apologies for being so quiet on our list and in our activities.  Just after our last Whois call, I received a call that someone I am very close to had a heart attack and was en route to the hospital.  The rest of the week is a blur of hospitals and critical care units. Fortunately, he is out and recovering quickly. I have been coming back online and slowly catching up.

I appreciate all that Emily and everyone have done… and I am back in working mode!

All the best,

Kathy
