DEEPEST SYMPATHY to the family of CHRIS FUNK whose mother, Rosemary R. Funk, died Friday, September 14th in St. Elizabeth Medical Center.

DEEPEST SYMPATHY to MARNE HELGESEN whose mother died on Monday, September 10th.

A BIG THANKS to daughter-in-law, Linda Griffith, for coming over to the house last night and typing the balance of this issue of the "Ripples." The old left-hand is not too good, probably due to the stroke (my neurologist, Dr. Scott W. Hoyer, indicated that according to an MRI, a moderate to severe stroke had occurred), so at about 7:00 p.m. last evening, when typing on "Ripples" was not going too well, Linda volunteered to come over and finish it.

ALSO, A BIG THANKS to JO WADE, GENE COURTANEY, MIKE FRAMPTON, and DICK BARTHOLOMEW for "coverin" for me during the past two weeks. I feel the process is back to normal at this time, pending cooperation of the left-hand (any errors you see, just blame them on the left-hand).
