Those kind of surprises sure are unkind cuts, as Caesar would have them... Poughkeepsie's actually on my radar. Red Hook, NY as well. How 'bout that? Season's best, Kim

Christmas is a very emotional time and losing a loved one at that time is heartbreaking. Tom

Yes, his children forever heartbroken. Happened on my 16 year old Aunt’s birthday, a few days before Christmas.

He was so young. I was only 2. I’m nearly 60 more than that ;)
