Dear Marion, Have you heard from Margrit? She telephoned from her Detroit apartment on December 10 or 11, telling me that she would spend the night of the 11th at a "Howard Johnson's" Lodge at the Detroit airport, then take an early morning flight to Ft. Lauderdale. I haven't heard from her since, don't know whether she got on the cruise vessel, whether she returned with it, whether she took a plane to Detroit, and if she arrived there, what happened subsequently. Thank you again for your December 14th USPS letter. I believe your analysis of the situation is very constructive, and I would like to implement your suggestions, - if only I knew how to go about doing so. I'm working on trying to find solutions to the various issues you raised. I will proceed as way opens and keep you informed. Jochen
