Nearly Four Weeks

I think today was the first without a condolence card. The phone calls and e-mails have all ceased as well. It’s funny: For a long time my mom wanted them all to stop, so she could have some peace and quiet. Now I don’t think she is so sure.

They Just Keep Popping Up

Today it is an obit in the San Diego Union Tribune. Actually, it was run a couple of days ago. I don’t know why the paper waited the better part of a month to run it. Must have been a very slow news day. I would have never dreamt of my dad as ‘filler’ material. Ah, well.

I also belatedly found a blog post at Science News.

They’ve been added to the cumulative round–up.

Memorial RSVP

Please RSVP if you are attending my dad’s memorial service at Cal on May 7th. This will help ensure sufficient seating and refreshments.

Please pass the RSVP link (http://herc.berkeley.edu/fc_howell_memorial/) along to others whom you think will be attending.

Thank you.

It’s Turkish

Apparently people are still reading this blog. The day after I posted a reference to a foreign obituary in an unknown language, I received an e-mail informing me that the language was, as I suspected, Turkish.

Thanks!
