[richard hill]

Norman:


I am deeply, deeply, deeply sorry about Joan's passing....we will see her 
again...up where the meteors never stop falling....please don't be sad...it 
will be a perpetual Leonid shower(-8 or -9's)

I found Lindsay...2505 East Bay Drive/Largo, Fl...

Thank you for your advice...

Do you know how to reach Karl Simmons?

My Best Regards,

Rick Hill
