WOSonOS Berlin

[Michael Herman]

eight years ago, judi richardson and chris corrigan and i were up with julie
smith and friends in fairbanks alaska.  we'd spend a day or two working and
playing together and along the way, things we'd learned from brian had
popped up several times.  he seemed very much with us and then... when judi
and chris and i went out for dinner, we were guided by the hostess to a
table already set with three red napkins and one black one!

thanks for the kangaroo story, suzanne!
