My Dear Ted--

   There are some who may say that in replying to your heartbreaking message 
that I am being flippant. Not so.

   In our audio interview you repeatedly emphasized that the LUG was a 
family.

   Those of us who have responded only point out that there is but a small 
difference between LUG and HUG.

   Reba and I--as well as all those who have responded--are letting you know 
that in this time of pain and sorrow  that you and Irene are not alone. 

   I recall the words of Loren Eiseley:

             I have been accused of wooly-mindedness for
         entertaining even hope for man. I can only respond that 
         in the dim morning shadows of humanity, the inarticulate
         creature who first hesitantly formed the words for pity and
         love must have received similar guffaws around a fire.
           Yet some men listened, for the words survive.
