Not to worry, Armand, she's alive and well in Kona. We had dinner together with friends on Saturday at Hokulia . I think she'll be flying away on Tuesday though, for parts unknown to me. Ann probably flies more in one year (150-200,000 miles) than I have in my lifetime!
She learned to appreciate and love travel, when Armand and his late wife, Mary, used to take university students on summer tours to Europe. Ann was put in charge of luggage delivery, helping with currency exchange and assorted details. Much like she handles everything when you are in her care and custody while on tour.
The more I learn about Armand, I can see how he might be responsible for his daughter's acquired efficiency. A few month's ago he mentioned that he loves to read Time Magazine and has had his letters to the editor published.
I submit to you:
October 24, 1949
Sir:
"Cervantes died on April 23, 1616, the same day as William Shakespeare" [TIME, Oct. 3], Not quite so. The same date, but not the same day. The English bard died on April 23 Old Style, or May 3 New Style, the system of reckoning already adopted in Spain.

-Reader Singer is right. At the time of Cervantes' death, Protestant England was using the Julian (Old Style) calendar, which was ten days behind Spain's— and the rest of Catholic Europe's—Gregorian (New Style) calendar.—ED.
April 19, 1999
Ours has been a full century demanding answers, glorying in solutions. Somehow the bigger picture has eluded us. All the wondrous advances you covered are seen from inside the reassuring cocoon of the surrounding universe. No one seems to be stepping outside to ask the big questions: Why is there time? Why should there be life, matter, space? What's the reason for existence, including that of God? If we cannot find answers, we are literally nowhere. Let's admit it, none of us has a clue. ARMAND E.

Well, how about a letter to me, Armand E. Singer?
