A few hours ago I got a phone call from a friend. He wanted to let me know that Mark Saadi died. I didn't ask what day or the circumstances. It didn't seem important. Mark and I were acquaintances, but our kids are best of friends and have been for years. He left those two boys, their much younger brother and Denise, their mother and his wife. Needless to say, I feel for them. Thanks to all who left
comments.
The strip will return Tuesday.
Peace.
1-18-06 UPDATE: For those who knew Mark, Denise has asked that, in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to an account being set up for the Saadi Boys College Fund. If you're interested, I'll be glad to provide information. I'm sure gifts of any size would be appreciated. Please write me at aklemmer (at) earthlink (dot) net.
