Dear Anna:  Cathy and I were at the SI yesterday meeting with library
folks and we sought you out to no avail.  I also tried to find and
introduce us to your parents but they also appeared to be out.  I am
good friends with Tamara Clark, who does illustrations for them so we
wanted to take advantage of that small world moment to say hello.  We
are sorry we missed you.

Best wishes Anna, David
