I'll be there. Although Skip thought the Kiwi thing was neat, I never knew what he really thought about Germans. So I'm coming as a kraut.
Sam Howell regrets that he can't make it. He can't get the time off from his new job.

I believe his actual internment is still being settled. It's tough to find a time that doesn't conflict with anything this time of year.

I believe his actual internment is still being settled. It's tough to find a time that doesn't conflict with anything this time of year. If folks hear any details, please paste them here. I'd love to attend and say Kaddish (Meg D's suggestion) for Skip. |
