Thanks, John and Ann. The first time I went to 3444 (was it '63,'64,
can't remember), it was in the afternoon. I got out of the taxi and went
through the door, no security then, went up the stairs and the only two people
around were Carol and Kathy (now Zervigon), walking down the hallway.
They immediately greeted me, treated me to coffee and we talked as if we had
known each other forever for I don't know how long. After that I never
sensed that I didn't know Carol. She had a way of twisting her mouth and
saying in that southern drawl something that would shift the mood of the
conversation whenever it went off track, even when Pierce was rocketing off on
some subject that was blowing out all the light bulbs. I'm a bit sad,
hoped to have had one more conversation.<br>

Hope appeareth, but it is not your Hope—you do not have anything to do with it.
It just appeareth. It comes as a stranger, as an alien—it just appeareth! You
do not even know why you hope. How in the world could you hope when there is
absolutely nothing to justify any hope? ~Joseph W. Mathews<br>
