RE: Important news....

David,
I echo your thoughts.  We should all keep the speculations to ourselves.  Things could definately get out of hand with theories and hearsay.  I realize some of the people on the list actually do know K & L.  Most of us probably feel as if they are friends.  They have given so much of themselves for such a long time.  Lets give them the respect they deserve and need.  Let them heal whatever ails them.  We have our albums and pictures and love to keep us.

respectfully,
mark

A single gentle rain makes the 
grass many shades greener. 
So our prospects brighten on the 
influx of better thoughts. 
We should be blessed if we lived 
in the present always 
and took advantage of every 
incident that befell us, 
like the grass which confesses 
the influence of the 
slightest dew that falls on it, 
and did not spend our time in 
atoning for the neglect of past 
opportunities, 
which we call doing our duty. 

We loiter in winter while it is 
already spring...
