I've pondered long and hard (too long) about what to say and to whom
about the tragic event that took place earlier this week in Paris.
I'd like to offer on behalf of the list membership our sincerest condo-
lences to our British colleagues, although the loss indeed touches every
one of us in some way. Having paid this terrible price let us hope
that those causes Diana stood for are strengthened, and that the British
people and their Royal Family find themselves closer to each other than
might have been the case before.
