news


Thanks you, Janice. For a moment I thought maybe I was
going crazy. Maybe I was remembering your post about
how to write to Matthieu and mixing it up with news
about the CBS bit--or was that from someone else, too?

Is there a charity or something one can donate in
memory of Gustavo, or would bookshare be the best
choice--it seems probably that should be the one we
should donate to.
