   Thank you very much for letting us know. Ojevind was a wonderful   
   friend, and one of the few people from the groups that I've met in   
   person: he welcomed Kim and me into his home and made us a lovely   
   lunch in a spur of the moment day trip while we were visiting my   
   cousins in Sweden. I've always felt a special bond with him from our   
   time in the E-text cabal, too.   
      
   Like O., I really don't know what to say beyond that. I'll miss you   
   greatly, Ojevind; it's hard to imagine not having you here.

   I just posted that quote yesterday for my friend Mike whose brother   
   had died. (Mike was the one who first taught me the Tengwar, among   
   other things.) I had no idea that I'd need it again so soon. I wish I   
   were Carl or David so I could say something moving in Quenya.
