As we age, we start to lose those we know. Pat Spielman died October 27; I just
heard that Danny Proulx died of an apparent heart attack at the Ottawa
woodworking show. A good friend of mine has cancer of the kidney, though he has
a fighting chance.

We also steadily lose the people we knew about. Looking
at it from an egoentric point of view,we lose a big part of the
context of our lives and much of what we shared with and
bound us to others.
