Catherine, All of our sympathy to you and to your family. Portee (Alex) has been a very important part of the lives of those of us who spend far too much time in internet chat rooms like this one. May his passing be gentle and the shores he reaches be welcoming. We already miss his great intelligence and quick wit here on our little Hub. I hope that your grief will be brief and eased by all of the great memories of your precious time together.

David (Doc) Drandres
