Joe - That is so kind of you to send this to me...really sweet of you...and nice of Lynn Messing too! I had brief contact with her once on the internet, so that is a nice a result of our email conversations. Guess what?! I have the whole new front page designed and ready to go...your article is the Special Feature for April 11, 2000...I just need your approval...then I will post the front page and link your article to the rest of the site. So please write to say "yes"...and also we can always add a tribute to Dr. Stokoe later if you wish - I admit it is hard to write it...hard to know how to handle it...I believe you may be correct that anything said should probably be separate from your article...I will think about it..I think we could place a link to a special little note from me - actually I have some good ideas about that but that can be done in a couple of days and we can still go ahead and post your article - I am sure you can hear that I can't wait!
