Good evening, all. Since there have been several references to Gary Sitton in this thread, I wanted to chime in briefly. Many of you might be aware of this, if so pardon me. Gary passed on back in October. His ashes were scattered on a west Texas ranch just last weekend (he wanted them to be scattered in the Spring) and there was an informal service with a few friends and family. He will be greatly missed not only as a fine writer, but also a fine friend.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for those of you who didn't know.

Also, I've very much enjoyed dropping in occasionally on the discussions here. Quite informative and entertaining.
