I’m very sorry for your loss, **BarnOwl’sDaughter**. I’ve sticked this thread so everybody will see it for the next few days, and after that I’ll make an entry for your father in the Memoriam thread. It’s actually just a single, locked, post and not a folder, which is why you couldn’t add anything to it. ---
