Dear List friends,
About a month ago, I temporarily unsubscribed to all Lists to deal with
family events and circumstances, from the tragic death of my brother to
the joy of the first grandson's beautiful wedding held two weeks later,
followed by the Memorial Service to Celebrate the Life of my brother at
the University of California at Berkeley, where he was a professor
emeritis. It was a month of emotional extremes; however, I am slowly
recovering and returning to normal.
I have just resubscribed to the lists. My incoming mail had dropped to
nearly zero and I missed it! I want to thank again all those
compassionate people who sent me personal messages. The response was
totally unexpected and the warmth absolutely overwhelming. The term
"extended family" has a new meaning.
It is nice to be back.
I shall repost my interests at a later time.
