<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR


I went to see Marie Tharp in Nyack Hospital after work on Tuesday.
She was very sick. It was tough. The once strong and robust lady, who
always ate twice as much as I did at our regular lunch dates, was
humbled by the pain of cancer and the trappings of modern medicine.
She did not know I was there, but I talked to her for a while
anyway. I have always known her as such a joyful and positive
person. It was very upsetting to see her brought down like this. She
died at 630am Wednesday morning. Many of us will miss her and I am sad.
Lamont will make sure that her name is always remembered.

Ken Kostel produced an excellent piece on Marie for our web page -
better than anything I can write - so I refer you to that on this
rainy day.
