Re: [ga] Condolances, and News from New York

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Marilyn, Joanna and all assembly members,

  I, and our members, thoughts on this tragedy and it's long reaching
consequences are also with Joanna.  I hope however that Joanna
will not give these terrorists even a small victory in her absence from
these very important debates and discussions.  We NEED her ideas,
percervearence, and steadfast honesty and forthrightness.  It is an example
for all of us and should be for anyone, especially you Marilyn!
