Alex,
Larry told me that Sharon has died. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. When I think of Sharon I can picture some of the beautiful creations she wove. Also I recall particularly chicken paprika she made for dinner one night when Larry and I visited. I tried to replicate it, but it never did taste quite as good as hers.
