[Herky] Non-Herky

[Alan Kline]

Don, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Like so many others, 
our family has also been touched by Alzheimer's. You aren't alone.

I hope everyone on Herky, regular posters and lurkers, will feel 
comfortable passing along both good and sad news about themselves and 
their loved ones. After all, this is still George Miller's "Herky Pub", 
where Hawkeye sports are important, but never so important as the ones we 
love.
