24946. judithathome - 1/20/2009 11:24:41 PM On Saturday, Leslie's daughter and I (and our husbands) are doing a "party" for want of a better word, for all of Leslie's friends and co-workers and family...he had left strict instructions that there be no funeral or memorial but rather, a party at his house.
So we're honoring that and I have been calling all the people on his cell phone and others and it's so sweet that everyone has said they will attend. And everyone I've talked to has told me how much they admired my son as a friend, co-worker, or acquaintence...I've always known this, that Leslie was a wonderful human being but it is so heartening to know so many considered him to be an inspiring person in their lives. 24947. anomie - 1/21/2009 12:07:21 AM What a wonderful way to honor and remember him. 24948. anomie - 1/21/2009 12:10:28 AM As to the Spencer report on Hyundai, that's the only one that matters but it's nice to be vindicated. (And I intended the car comments to be here. Sorry about interupting Politics.) 24949. judithathome - 1/21/2009 12:11:14 AM Ano, my aunt and her husband live in Las Vegas...or Henderson...and some day it might be nice if you gave them a call...I think she would like to hear from someone "know"...ha! They are a neat couple and I think she'd like to hear from you...I had mentioned your house to them when they moved there but they ended up buying rather than leasing. 24950. arkymalarky - 1/21/2009 2:07:33 AM That sounds like a wonderful plan Saturday, Judith. Let us know how it goes. 24951. judithathome - 1/21/2009 2:18:48 AM I will. 24952. magoseph - 1/21/2009 6:36:19 PM How did it go, Judith? 24953. anomie - 1/21/2009 7:42:37 PM Judith, it would be great to contact your local folks. Email me. I've lived here for 2 years and don't know a soul closer than California. 24954. magoseph - 1/21/2009 10:38:15 PM Handome couple 24955. judithathome - 1/22/2009 3:36:24 AM Ano, send me an email...I thought I had your name under your user name but evidently, I don't.
If you don't have my email, send one to Wabbit and she will forward it... 24956. judithathome - 1/22/2009 5:30:37 AM Just found what I think is your email...answer back! 24957. magoseph - 1/23/2009 8:30:54 PM 24958. magoseph - 1/23/2009 8:38:56 PM My younger son is visiting his brother in Wisconsin. 24959. arkymalarky - 1/25/2009 2:18:19 AM Well, back on dialup. It's not bad if you don't mind not seeing pictures. Netzero calls it highspeed 3G. For only $15 a month it beats satellite and isn't nearly as frustrating. Once Obama implements his rural development plan (! ;->) I'll get that DSL option I've been waiting for for so long, and my world will really change. IN the meantime, people who don't know my cellphone # will probably get a lot of busy signals.
I haven't posted about it in here yet, but I have two exchange students this year. We're going to set up a strict schedule. Right. 24960. arkymalarky - 1/25/2009 2:19:04 AM Schedule for internet use, that is.
Posting was actually pretty fast, there! And it's fairly close to millennial time in here! 24961. wabbit - 1/25/2009 6:19:57 PM I don't want to interrupt the flow of the novel, but I thought I'd grab what y'all had written so far and put it together here. 24962. judithathome - 1/25/2009 6:21:23 PM Yesterday Leslie's daughter and I hosted a get-together at his house...more than 50 people showed up! It was a diverse group and nearly everyone said they were going to do this sort of thing rather than a funeral when their time comes...ha!
Actually, I thought that was one of the nicest compliments...and I think Leslie would have had a good time. 24963. wabbit - 1/25/2009 6:57:48 PM What a wonderful tribute to Leslie, clearly he was much loved. 24964. arkymalarky - 1/25/2009 8:18:45 PM Wow, Judith, that's wonderful! 24965. magoseph - 1/26/2009 11:22:17 PM About Max Macks and from his thread:
Very Sad News About Max
Tabby - Jan 25, 2009 7:51 pm
This was passed on to me from a friend of Eugen's we both have been trying to find him...
I will get the URL of the site he visited.
I'm sad to pass on this news. The following email is from his 'contact' friend. Max has been an active member of CI for a long time, especailly enjoying the games/and camaraderie on This 'n That. We'll miss him. Dear Annie,
I am a friend of Eugen Stech's. I'm sorry to have to tell you that Eugen passed away about a week ago. He was admitted to the hospital 2 weeks ago with a bad case of pneumonia. Because his lungs were so weakened by his COPD, he was unable to fight off the infection. He was uncomfortable, but not in much pain. He died peacefully on Friday evening, January 16.
He did not want any kind of service, but some of his friends will be gathering on Thursday, January 29 to drink a toast to his life and remember him. If you or his other cyber friends would like to share something, please email it to me and I will bring it to share with the group.
I know how much he appreciated the online friends he made. After he moved out of his apartment, he was never able to get back into the regular communication that he had enjoyed. His online friends were key to helping him to understand and deal with his illness and to keep him from getting isolated. You did him a great service.
Judy
