[Dauer, Edward]

 This post is as O.T. as any could possibly be, and selfish to boot; but sending it is of some importance to me.  Last week my wife of more than 50 years passed away, after a nearly three-year run battling a very nasty form of cancer.  She died, in hospice, comfortable and at peace.

I write this because I am trying to fill a vast hole in my life, doing busy-work and settling affairs and, more to the point, corresponding with friends and family.  Over the years I have come to regard many of the participants in this reflector as friends, even though I have met in person only three or four.

I expect no replies. And if there are any I ask that they be off-line.  

Thanks for tolerating this personal and maudlin use of the bandwidth.  It is hard to say why it mattered, but I felt the need to express my loss.

Thanks,

Ted, KN1CBR
