[Gathnet] Terry

[Jonathan Gathman]

Dear Stuart,
  We've been appreciating your commentary regarding Terry Schiavo, though
I don't know exactly what to reply back with (so I haven't).  Please
know that your heart and thoughts have struck chords with us, and that
our hearts are hurting as well for Terry and for this country.
  Keep writing.

Jonathan
