Is it some untold truth that sooner, or later we all gonna die? Never oocurred to me. What next? (Remember the discussion of the 2 fetuses whether there is life after birth?) I used to be a Ouijja-Board spiritist in college years (and later) ~70 years ago with friends, we did not cheat and never found out who is answering and how. We experienced fantastic (anticipatory?) discussions, "THEY" even saved my life twice. Nothing about (their) circumstances. I appreciated a (patronizing?) friendship of Hal over 2 decades, hope his complexity is OK. John M
