 Subject: an update on The White Rose Fund

   Well, in the end IED received enough money (counting his own
donation) to pay for NINE DOZEN long-stemmed white roses (at
11 Pounds 75 Pence per dozen) with ivy intertwined. The roses will be
delivered on July 30 to Kate's family home in Welling together with
an envelope containing all the notes which IED received along with
contributors' donations.  The total cost: 105 Pounds 75 Pence, plus
about $12.00 in phone fees. Total donations: $200.00. When
IED sees his next Visa bill he'll post the net balance, and the
remaining money (if any) will be held over till next Katemastime.
   The roses have gone up in price a couple of Pounds since last
year, but they still cost well under half what they would have cost
had we used 1-800-FLOWERS, or any other such "service".  IED has
done some scouting out to see what nine dozen long-stemmed roses
look like, and they look GREAT!
   IED will call the florists' again to confirm receipt of the
envelope of messages for Kate, and once more following Katemas
to make sure delivery was made.
   All that's left is to say a big Thank You to all those who
contributed their hard-earned cash--from $5.00 to $50.00 apiece--just
to help fatten up the Love-Hounds bouquet.  Thanks, then, to:
