Dear Friends-
this just arrived from Guido Vermeulen-
I know many of you are familiar with Marilyn's works and her beautiful spirit-
i have stil a book she made of a journey to Europe to visit a great many fellow Mail Artists-Gudio was one-
Marilyn was a great inspiration and so very generous in the Mail Art Community-
perhaps we might organize a Mail Art call for her?
she would be happy that we continue on in the Eternal Network-
