\*\*KATHERINE HOWARD/OPALCAT – A Life On Record \*\* Whatever else you might say about Opal, she was definitely on the record for just about everything. So it seems fitting and very appropriate that we have the service “[Life On Record](http://www.lifeonrecord.com/)” to collect your recollections of Katherine. Life On Record will create a keepsake CD for her family with recorded messages from you. You are invited to contribute. You might tell a story or share an experience you had with her. You might talk about what she meant to you or what made her memorable, what you appreciated about her. This number will be available until Tuesday, April 2. Here’s how to record your message: 1. Call LifeOnRecord, \*\*1-800-606-0697 by Tuesday April 2 \*\* 2. When prompted, enter your Invitation Number: **13248** 3. Record your message after the tone. When finished you can either hang up or press the # key. If you press the # key you’ll be given options to listen to your recording, accept your recording, or re-record it. Remember when leaving your message that a kind word is nice, a warm sentiment is better, and a meaningful story or shared memory will make the most impact. Feel free to forward this on to other people that know OpalCat so that they can contribute to the keepsake as well. Callers outside of the US and Canada can reference this link for dialing instructions: [FAQ's about using LifeOnRecord for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and personal journals.](http://www.lifeonrecord.com/faqs.htm#countries) Many thanks to Straight Dope Message Board member **aaelghat** and to voiceover artist John Martin for their contributions to this project. ---
