    They failed to include my brother in the obit. I'll give the step-mom the benefit of the doubt, she's going through chemo right now and more than likely has a case of chemo-brain. I've sent a note to the newspaper to find out if we can change it. I just can't wait until this weekend is over and I can get back to my life.

    Though this was posted years ago, certain sadnesses never soften enough with time. I offer you my condolences nonetheless, and my abiding gratitude for the service to our country your father gave of his own free will. (I replied to your comment over at Arbroath about the gibbon.) --A.
