Sending my condolences to the Bier family and remembering my college friendship with Al. Was it your dad who turned you into such a competitive card player?! Thinking of you during this tough time. My mom died this past Easter Sunday, and I can empathize about becoming an orphan. Mary Jo Parker Jepson maryjojepson@aol.com
