So sorry to hear about Bill, strokes are just one of the most dreadful things that can happen to anyone. Do you have the house address for his daughter. She wrote to me last year after I sent a card to Bill but unfortunately I managed to mislay the letter before putting the address in my book.I sent another card this last Christmas hoping that she would write again but sadly she has not. Having heard the news from you about Bill I now know why. If she has an email address that will do fine. In the meanwhile I hope the letter will turn up. I am currently taking stuff to local charity shops. I think you call them thrift shops. My son in law was recently in S.F. but just for the weekend. He was over there for work, a few days in Seattle, weekend in SF and then to Silicon Valley. He used to go over to do courses in one of the twin towers, so he was very lucky not to be there on that dreadful day. Yesterday he, Andy and my daughter, Lynda, went to Kerala in India for a holiday. It looks beautiful from the pictures I have seen of it. They get back the day after I leave for Boston. I hope the weather is not going to be too bad in Boston. I know it is not going to be warm but cold and bright will be quite pleasant. It is a horrible day here today, heavy rain all day. Take care, best of luck to you and all the family. (Email from Marie S**** to me, March 30, 2007)
