My Aunt Carmen passed away on January 16. She was an outstanding woman and I have many many fond memories of her. I remember:

• being scared out of my wits by her mansion in Marinette. It was built by a logger baron and my cousins told me there were gargoyles in the attic.
• the green hummel of a poodle she gave me when I was young which I still have
• sleeping up in the neat attic room of her less-scary house in Oconomowoc
• lighting lots of candles with her (she loved them as much as I) around her house
• taking the row boat out to her lake behind her house and then taking short hikes into the woods
• eating at the Fox and Hounds with her (which as I just looked it up, it was sold after 62 years of business) and my parents
• when I was able to see her in Verona when I did some work for the Gates Foundation near Madison in 2003

I will miss you Aunt Carmen!
