My ex-wife, aka the doper \*\*Cyn \*\* has passed after a short battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 55. I’m sure she would want everyone to know. Her only goal was to see Christmas with her 3y/o grandson. I introduced her to the dope when we were dating, and she was a pretty regular poster for many years. ---

Sighhhhh… I recall the name…we probably crossed swords at one point…hopefully there was a nice exchange of recipes or a “yeah, Kirk WAS the best Starship Capitian” at some point. Again, condolences. ---
