Jim,
  As everybody was, I was saddened to read of your loss ( & everybody else's
in the US) in the tragic events of the past week & a half. Your
consideration for others during trying times should be one of the examples
we use to show the world of our resolve to "carry on & return to normalcy".
I can only hope the hole left behind by the loss of your loved one is filled
with God's compassion & love.
   I know you wrote this would be the last "Open Fields" but I hope our
paths cross so I can thank-you personally for your inspiration during a very
a very dark time in our lives.
     God bless,
         Paul
