R.I.P.

Those of you that know me, and those of you that read me...

You can all thank this man's family, for the gift of me.

This is an extended member of my family, and his branch of the family is that, which brought over my mother's side over a hundred years ago. His great-grandfather paid for my great-grandmother's first wooden leg (getting her off "the peg.")

His death is newsworthy...

When my father dies (KNOCK WOOD!) it'll be Washintonpost.com Newsworthy...

and I hope, when I die, it'll also be Washingtonpost.com Newsworthy.

Thanks, Cousin Richard. Posthumously. Bubbie Kooperman (Darman) also thanks you.
