Patter,

Thank you for the lovely note. I can't find your email address at the
moment so this will go to all on the list. Also, I want the entire
group to know how much I appreciate you and your years of contribution.
So here it is, a public early valentine.

I'm sorry for all you have struggled with medically, physically and
emotionally. Climbing all around the water treatment plant with you 2
years ago was an experience that taught me a lot, and I will never
forget it. I have an idea of how physically demanding your work is, and
ever-changing shifts is enough to make anyone's life chaos.

I always look forward to seeing you, and Penny, and making music with
you. You will always have my support, as you have always given me
yours. As it should be with friends.

Ashe, and big hugs until the 14th,
Karen U.
