Huge thanks, as always, to the many of you who help keep Light shining.

I am enjoying reading my way through the issue. So far, the poem that has made me laugh out loud was Julie Steiner's, but I have liked a lot of the others, too.

Glad you're enjoying it, Susan--thanks again for your own witty "Statistically Speaking"!

Great issue, Melissa!

Best,

Props to all!

Cheers,
John

Thanks, Vera and John!

Congratulations to the Sphereans in this fine issue! Thanks, Melissa, for the link. Not to mention for everything else you do!

Best,

Melissa,
The tribute to John is just wonderful, and I've sent a link to John's wife, his daughters and his sister; they will love it.

I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the issue.

Congratulations to you, the Light brigade, and all the contributors!

A wonderful issue! Congratulations, J.D., on the great appreciation by Joshua Mehigan. So many laughs in this issue when I (and perhaps others?) needed them! :):):):):)
