To Russ and Suzanne, I recently heard that you lost your mother some weeks ago and I wanted to send belated thoughts to you both. I understand that she enjoyed a long life and peaceful demise - And don't we all wish for that. I remember the house on El Dorado as being one that was always welcoming for me, Joe, Sherrie, Sue Neale, Charlie, et al. In hindsight, I remember your mother as a petite lady with the ability to "bring into line" a teenage son who was really so much taller than she was. With sons of my own, I appreciate what a mission that could be. Fond memories, Leigh
