Ed,

Thank you very much for your kind note. Jean lived a long and good life, but this one hurts more because she was our last living relative. Now we're the old folks. My apologies for the delay in replying, but I had forgotten about this website until my sister told me about it. (She also mentioned to me that she wasn't buying that comment about me being a great person at Weber. (I'm not so sure I buy it either.)) My email if you want to contact me is [email protected]
