[Oe List ...] With love for y’all and love for America ...

[Sharon Fisher]

Ken,

Thank you for sharing your perspective from Canada. This is a strange and
serious predicament for sure. It and the vast array of other actions from
this Administration.

Thanks, also, for sharing Thurber's "Owl" story.

Blessings to you and yours,
Sharon Fisher (formerly Robertson)
