Hi Ted, thank you.   I must say I hope your stay in a seniors place will 
very likely be very good for you and will work out well. When I heard the 
news I felt it is for the best, for physical rehab, and it might help put 
you in touch with many top notch people like yourself.  Please let us know 
how you are getting on. I know you are not happy with all this, but, at 88yo 
you have had a terrific life, and the  good news is,  you are vertical.  We 
love you, you are a great man, Tara and I think so very highly of you, we 
think of you each and every day,


We are ishing for you the very best, Steve Tara
