This is a wonderful idea--to sponser an issue of AWAD news in memory of Being CJ.. we might want to have a statement in the issue-- something about a community of word lover, and word users.. who love to use their words in puns, and quips, and rambling discourses.. and how BeingCJ was one of us.

It would be nice too, if Keven could set up/give us an address we could write to.. If i were in Chicago, i would have brought over a casserol, or fruit, or something for the family.-- i would be offering them rides to the hospital/doctors office, to run errands. life for the family has been disrupted, car totalled, injured adult and children, it one of those times when a note of condolence--is wonderful, but a $5 bill (or greater amount) might be just the thing.. for an unexpected cab ride, or for milk and eggs for breakfast. not being there, i would like to give a small something-- Can we write to Carol's family via the college/university? or some other address that it would be safe to email (PM) to strangers?
