Now that is a very good idea from everyone hearing from one and other. It just keeps us closer to eachother.
Oh yes i do remember Millie as well as Lottie (Mommy Lottie) as i used to call her. She was always willing to help everyone at any time. And what about Zavie's Skype calls at least once a week, and sometimes more often. These were some very special kinds of people who i will never forget. Also Beth, how are you doing? You always have something good to say to all of us. Remember most of you people are the backbone of this site, so let's all get together every once in a while because it would be good to hear from you.
