<DIV>I have lived in this community longer than the one in which I was raised.
My daughter is 26. I was here before she came into my life. So let's say about
28 years. I've seen many changes to this community, not all good. I've seen good
friends leave. I've lost good friends through death. I.v seen people I did
not have good feelings for leave,good riddance. When my father died, in
1995, I cried on many a shoulder around here. Got many hugs from friends ar'd
here.</DIV>

<DIV>When my mother died on Jan 31 St.. I got nothing from this community. If it
weren't for Tweefy, (who sent an FYI to the list) Connie and Chase(my
daughter's father), who attended the funeral, and words of comfort from Brad
(outside of the community,via email with cc to the chat list),
Commie Nico (that's OK with me. My father was a communist. He could
talk the skin off a snake.), Matthew (part time community
person), and Arjay, who I emailed. I sent a thank you for
being nice to my mom to the Abell list and it was in the AIA
newsletter. I did not receive anything whether by phone.,
email, card or note stuck in my door. from this community. Not even any
anonymous cards.</DIV>
<DIV>Like I said I've seen to many changes in this community and they ARE
NOT all Good.</DIV>
<DIV>What was once a close friendly and part hippie community has now faded into
my memory.</DIV>
