“I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves – such an ethical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty.  The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth.”

Please remember Peter McGinn, 61, Rosemary's brother, who died Monday morning in Boston.  Amyloidosis was the cause and could not be brought under control.  This Monday morning we will attend a family memorial near Binghamton, NY.  A month from now a large, public memorial is being planned.  J.S.

From Marianne Elwell concerning the cruise next summer:

Re the cruise – if someone is interested in the cruise, or even think they might be interested, they only have to put a deposit of $25.00 per person by 8/26.  They can always cancel (up to a certain point and I will find out what the latest cancel date is), but we need at least 8 cabins booked by then or we lose the group status.
