Howie has been in contact with people close to Janice Ulangca in Binghamton,
NY, and learned that she died in peace at home in her bed. She and Dick plan to
attend the funeral next Wednesday on behalf of our community.</span></p><p class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt"><br></span></p><p class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">

might recall yesterday on this listserv that Marge Philbrook announced her
decision about allotting an $8,500 donation from an anonymous donor to
celebrate her eighty-fifth birthday. It is appropriate now to reveal that this

I saw Marge’s email early this morning, I wrote to Janice. Now, of course, I
know that she never read it. However, my message conveys something about her
special qualities as a human being that seem a fitting way to celebrate her completed life. Here is what I wrote:</span></p><p class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial"><br></span></p>

you gave a truly creative gift to Marge. She's brooded long and hard (enjoying
every minute of it) about the best way to divvy-up 85 hundred dollars. She also
has remained extremely curious about the identity of the donor. She thinks she’s
being coy as she regularly drops leading comments to staff in our finance
office with a hope that someone might spill the beans. This is an
ongoing gift that keeps on giving: </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial"> </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial">Marge
