Ok I was wrong. The whole world didn't know about Audrey. This week I ran into quite a few people who had not heard and some of them were hurt to think that it happened a month ago. Now I am working on making sure people know. Electronic communication has not quite reached every corner of the globe. Even stranger, after I started telling people, other people started coming to me and offering their congratulations. The grape vine is still alive and growing.
We saw the break down in communication with Dick Adair's passing away this last week. Those at church heard the announcement, but it didn't spread as far and as wide as people who cared. We saw the Carlson's at the Temple Wednesday evening and they didn't know about either event. Dick Adair was 91 years old. His family knew he wasn't long for this earth, but none of the rest of us did. I sat in church and cried. He and his wife have been so kind to us. She asked Tyler to lead the music for the funeral. Other than his family, most of those in attendance were elderly. I started thinking how I want to have young friends, no matter how old I get. What will the technology be like then? Is the new technology help or hurting the generation gaps? I think we will always benefit the most from face to face interaction.
