[Oe List ...] Elaine Richmond

[William Alerding]

Ray, We are shocked at Elaine's death. We remember both of you with  
great fondness. It was clear that she brought great joy and  
fulfillment into your life. She will have a special place on our  
meditative council. You have 33 years of memory to live out of. Take  
good care of yourself.

Blll and Barbara Alerding
