Sorry to learn of your dad's passing, Ken. A wonderful photo in the death notice, by the way. It captures the spirit of the guy I knew so well, so long ago. Mischief from ear to ear in that smile. And of course, a very funny guy . . . usually, unless the crowd was too loaded to notice how good he was. Karren, Scott and I will be on our way from Los Angeles to Atlanta and so will be unable to attend, other than in spirit, the services. I wish it could be otherwise.
