Alan,

 AI> I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you and your family the best
 AI> over the holdays and beyond.

  I'm the last of my line. The only other relatives I know of are out
of state, older than I am, and can't travel anymore.

 AI> This is what I have been thinking but I don't know.

  My late father was the victim of that. Sadly, by the time it is
discovered, it's usually too late to do anything.

 AI> Wherever Joe is now, sitting in his armchair or looking down on
 AI> us from above I wish him only the best as well.

  One of the echoes other longtime members, Nancy Backus, lost her
battle with stomach cancer awhile back. She was very active in the
message areas.

  One day, I had the tagline "I took an IQ test, and the results were
negative". Without missing a beat, she replied "That explains a lot",
then added .

  She said "I hope you weren't offended by that", and I told her "Not
at all...I got a good laugh out of it".
