I miss Margaret! Does anyone know how she's doing? I called her last
year to wish her a happy belated birthday (my card was returned because
they added a 'B' to the address of her apartment). She was gracious as
usual but rushed me off the phone. I was told by another RFC poster she
does that all the time now.

She once sent me a tin of homemade Hamantashen (sp). Delicious! She
sent me a tin of pirouline wafers, too. Countless other little things.
And cookbooks! (I finally had to ask her to stop sending me
cookbooks.) Right after 9/11 she sent me some pins, one of which was
hand-beaded red white & blue in the shape of a ribbon. Such a sweet
lady. I know she was devastated when her friend Marcel died.
