    Your msg made my day. There is always with a sense of joy when I see
anything that makes anyone happier. Many of us get animated when we discuss
about theosophy and related matters -- which is simply because they relate
to something which is in the core of our being. I hope what has started will
improve and make you both improve communications.

   Each one of us have to find our own way and what is right for one may or
may not be right for the other. The fact that he was responding to the news
of Di's death seems to indicate he is ok. I also accidentally turned on TV
and caught the story from the start.

    The above gives me an idea. Many Lodges and Centers produce newsletters.
If any of them would be willing, then I can arrange to scan them and post
them as and when the newsletters come out. This would provide additional
material for us to discuss and may benefit from them. Any ideas from anyone?

    Peace and harmony and happiness to all.
