[Oe List ...] We send you out ...

[Nancy Lanphear]

Dear Ones,

In the past few years, when I had a question regarding our Order history or
our finances, I would call Carol.  Her steady, passionate and welcoming
voice was there, once again , on the telephone.  Thank you, Carol, for
being a precious gift in our lives. Your voice wil remain.

Love,

Nancy
