Re: Just heard the news

Being a lurker on this list- for what it's worth let me add my deepest
condolences to what I can only imagine is a hurt and wounded nation. It
is
truly one of the darkest days I can possibly imagine, and as mentioned
before, all of us north of the border send our best wishes to you all.

Later,
Alexander Kettle,
