For those of you who want to contact Jay's widow. Nancy Schermer, by snail
mail, here's the address:
P. O. Box 20531, Fountain Hills, AZ 85269

This is Nancy's email address:
silkroadcamel at hotmail.com

You can also continue to add comments to this RHF strand.  I will gather
them together on Wednesday morning and package them in an integrated
response to her.  Deadline:  Noon on December 16 to be guaranteed that I
can get them organized for delivery to Nancy.
