He really kept us riled up, didn't he? And who could NOT miss the wise words and candor of Fred Migliore, the passion and humor of Paul Root, and people like Gary and Patty....the list of folks who have given up on this List grows longer and longer. I am not so sure they all gave up on the List. I think in some cases they were removed for violating the List rules. I do miss Paul, Gary, Patty, Fred and Frank. I talked to Frank recently and he sounded great. I told him if I could I would come see him in Ohio where he is having special treatment for his cancer. I was just blasted by Fred when I responded to a large e-mail I received and his name was hidden in the group. Evidently he doesn't want to hear anything from me, and made it clear in bold type. I get to see Paul at the shows now and then and did spend some time the other day talking to him. I will look forward to seeing Gary and Patty at the National. That is one of the benefits of the National. With some luck I will get to see Helen too. This List has gone through a lot of changes, and yet, somehow it stays strong, interesting, and challenging. I miss those who have left or been removed, but more so, I appreciate those who remain. Evan L.
