Back at you, Dave.

As to absent friends, Hear! Hear! Yesterday, I visited the widow of a very good family friend, a true master craftsman, whom I had learned a lot from, skill-wise and vision-wise. Pat Castille had limited reading and writing skills, but had an inherent vision and natural ability to create wonders, with the minimum of tools. It was always a pleasure, not only working with him, but simply visiting with him.
