Hare Krishna Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  I trust that all is going well for you in terms of your devotional service and your over-all state of health. 

HpS - Well, we have news that we will die within a few years. I happened to my father and grandfather and seems to run in the family.

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you, and all of the many times that you have been very merciful to my wife and I by visiting our home.  There is no measure to how much gratitude we had treasured due to your kind visits.

I had it in mind to share some personal realizations about getting old, but I need to wait until I am in a more sober mood, so that I will know exactly what I want to say and how I want to say it.  But be it suffice to say that things are moving along with our BG gatherings and sadhana.  I will make a more honest effort to remain in touch with your good self: Hare Krishna!

Yls, Bbd

HpS - Super!!!!   ISKCO Boise!!  Always an adventure
