Thank you very, very much Cliff and Jen.

thank you FDL.

Now to go back and read and remember this remarkable young lady…

Another thousand prayers for Marla Ruzicka and the victims she helped.

Another thousand lumps of coal for Deborah Howell and the victimhood of the right she helps invent.

As this salon is coming to a close, I’d like to ask everyone to think of Marla this New Year’s Eve. It would have been her 30th birthday. Her loss was tragic – another among thousands of civilian casualties of war. But she is gone. The only way we can adequately memoriallize her is to ensure that her work and legacy carries on. That she did not die in vain.

Peace to everyone during this holiday season.

Gone. But NOT forgotten.
