When Kevin first became an administrator there was something he did that I found objectionable. It would be poor form to revisit that now, but I mention it to avoid making a saint of the guy. I had later glimpses of him and he seemed like a good guy. He seemed overall like a kind human spirit and I'm sad that he's off to the next destination so soon. By messages and his Facebook page he was an organ donor, and his heart is beating in some other person right now. Consider designating yourself as an organ donor, everyone, mark the option on your driver's license or identification. Trillium Corsage 29.07.2016, 22:26, "Ed Erhart" <email clipped>:
