I echo Mark's sentiment, it was a really nice way to remember Dave, and I think it did Paty's heart a lot of good to hear all the love in the room.

Only Claremont could get up, do ten minutes, wind down with an anecdote that ended "...and that's when I finally learned to shut up. Which is what I will do now"-- --and then go on for another ten minutes. Kudos to Paul and WB for hosting. It was, all in all, a very warm and respectful memorial.

I too was sitting next to Mark, and apparently only a few seats away from you, Elayne. Still a lovely tribute. Save the salt.

It was a strange day. I didn't see Mark do the wrist-slitting thing and I was sitting right next to him, so I might take Tim's entry with a bit of salt there.
