(I finally got thru umpteen entries down to here ;-)

Let me give a cursory 'vanda' and sit on one side. May I ask your forgiveness for my offenses and carelessness in the past. I have high regard for your words and your deeds (money to school; home to wildlife; care to friends and an owl;...). I'd like to thank you for showing that one can be kind even when one is in difficulties. You are a true example in my world.

I know you would say 'you are no hero'; you just do what fits the time; you draw inspiration from others and so on. But I am happy to say 'thank you for the example' here and anywhere.

Thank you and many happy returns.
