Re: Passing of Mary Potter
It was nice visiting with Russ at the Model T Haven auction. One of the great things about this game is getting to meet so many good people.
The inevitable often happens.

Sincere condolences to the Potter family. I never knew any of you, but you were there when I needed a carb for my T. May God rest her soul.
