Re: Off list for a while - and why
Hi Barbarann! Only just saw this message. My most sincere condolences to you on this painful loss. My oldest friendship is from the age of 12, and even though we're thousands of miles apart, I'd be distraught if I lost him. It was fun to flip through your photos together (but I will confess to a moment of geekiness when I said Ann's got an LX around her neck!); I bet Barb's daughter and son will really appreciate this pictures of you and their mum. All the best, --M.

Re: Off list for a while - and why
Take care, Ann, and my sincere condolences. Ecke 2010/10/5 Ann Sanfedele ann...@nyc.rr.com: My oldest (in terms of years known) and one of two of my very dearest closest long term friends passed away on Friday ... so I'm off to Chicago to her home and family One of the reasons I could talk myself into the expense of the photo show at the Dank last spring was my concern that there would no be many more opportunities to be with her in person... the show became a reason to go to Chicago so Barb wouldn't think I was just hurrying to get there before she passed on... one had hoped things were not as dire as they sounded from her daughter -- Barb always minimalized her troubles and was a real trooper ... She appreciated our lists penchant for puns and herself invented a few wonderful shaggy-dog groaners. No, not the big C - but enough other stuff to cause her to be in and out of hospital for a few months and cause her a lot of discomfort. While I was biting my nails waiting to see if my photo got in she said But you are coming anyway arent you? naturally, I was. How many of us can claim to still be friends and in touch with someone from childhood at my age? (gonna be 74 in December) Particularly sad for me not just for the loss of her friendship but to think of her only being two years my senior ... Her son Johnny took our photo in May and said I should make a grouping of photos of the two of us - so I did that for him on my web page... he took the one of us last May. I've spent the last couple of days gathering more snaps from the past at her daughter's request to be displayed at the wake... it seems that is something of a fashion these days... I won't really be _in_ Chicago ... except to get to the communter rail to take me to the far burbs - I'll be taking the long way around returning (bus and trains) so if I can manage it at all I'll get to see a couple of you . Happily, my young roomie will take care of Ashley . The gallery on my web page with vintage photos is called Barb and Barb Yeah, I was _nee_ Barbara Ann... and is in the Friends and Family section - if you are curious... Sometimes my direct off-list mail doesnt get to people (something to do with my server) so Frank and Paul Stenquist - write me off list will ya? you both should have had email from me. I hope to at least get a cuppa with Christine and I'm going to pick up my photo and the one I traded for from Dank House I'll stay on list long enough to answer stuff - but you can see why I've been quiet for a bit ann http://annsan.smugmug.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
