I couldn't resist the temptation to send this.  There are so many people on
this list that I know, but haven't seen or talked to in ages.  I wish you
all a happy new year and I pray that it is a successful one.

>>> Around the Corner:   By Henson Towne

>>>  'Around the corner I have a friend,
>>>  In this great city that has no end
>>>  Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
>>>  And before I know it, a year is gone.
>>>  And I never see my old friend's face,
>>>  For life is a swift and terrible race,
>>>  He knows I like him just as well,
>>>  As in the days when I rang his bell,
>>>  And he rang mine.
>>>  We were younger then,
>>>  And now we are busy, tired men.
>>>  Tired of playing a foolish game,
>>>  Tired of trying to make a name.
>>>  "Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"
>>>  But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
>>>  And distance between us grows and grows.
>>>  Around the corner! - yet miles away.
>>>  "Here's a telegram sir-"
>>>  "Jim died today."
>>>  And that's what we get and deserve in the end-
>>>  Around the corner, a vanished friend.'

>>>  If you love someone, tell them.  Remember always to say what you mean.
