To all our fellow listers in the US, just wanted to express our sorrow and

Colin, Thank you for your thoughts.  In this time of insecurity in our
county, it is comforting to have support from friends beyond our shores.  
Your message brought to mind the words of another English gentleman, written
400 some years ago.  --Janis  

from Meditation XVII from Devotions upon Emergent Occasions
by John Donne

>>"No man is an island intire of itselfe,
every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine;
if a clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is lesse,
as well as if a promontorie were,
as well as if a mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were;
any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in Mankinde;
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee." <<
