CANDIDS II

[mrsl]

.
This is the first time I've looked at this articular thread in a while. I truly love this thread but I found myself becoming depressed when reading it. So many of my childhood and teen-age favorites have gone in the past year, many of them only a few years older than me caused a terrible sadness in my heart I realize we all have to go sooner or later, but for a while there it was one after another day after day for a couple of weeks, so I have kept away for just a short time. I will get back soon but I truly hope that Robert O's decision not to join the next cruise is not a harbinger of things to come.

So forgive me for being a drag, and I'll go look at the new photos my grand daughter has posted on facebook of my great grand babies.

It was my pleasure, Georges, since I adored her too. Perhaps you can post a picture of you and
Ms. Sterling together. It would be a treat.
