A quick update: It now looks like I won't be able to attend Saturday's celebration of James at Winedale. Please let me know what I can do from here to help facilitate the events and gatherings in any way.

In addition, let me add on behalf both of myself and of others who want to attend but can't, I hope lots of people feel free to share pictures with the Winedale mailing lists. Let me help if any of you have difficulty in doing so. I know from experience that the pictures of you all send do so much to bridge the gaps, when they happen, between any of us and our Winedale extended families.

Finally, be aware that large attachments sometimes chock one or both mailing lists. If that happens, there are workarounds, and I'll be available if you need me to help debug anything. My contact info is appended below.

I am so grateful to have known James, and I remain eternally grateful to know, and to have long known, all of you.

Love,

Mike

Alice, I'm scrambling to figure out how to get down there, where to stay, etc. Modestly hopeful.

I'm just echoing this info about the memorial events for James that are scheduled at the Winedale Historical Center this weekend, in case not everyone has seen it yet.

Love to all of you!
