Sadly, the original post must be updated with the passing of Dick Karcher's sister (Marianne Karcher Bargo) who passed away one week after his wife.

Our sincere sympathies to Dick and the familes.

Many of you on the CAT Tracks mailing list know Dick Karcher from his long teaching career in Cairo School District Number One.

We extend our condolences to him on the passing of his wife.
