[willowisp]

Somewhere between 18:30 and 19:30 mountain <whatever> time, William Emerson Rigsbee died. He had been getting more tired, but the cancer had not progressed to the point where he needed pain medication. callicrates could use all the hugs he can get.

I also had no idea --or perhaps had forgotten, apologies-- that Andy could trace his lineage down his mother's side all the way back to the Mayflower. Wow.

Oh, it gets better. John Howland (my great^16 grandfather) not only came over on the Mayflower, he fell off halfway across. This is documented in Of Plymouth Plantation. Luckily for him (and for me) he caught hold of one of the topsail halyards and was hauled back into the boat.
