Mr. Trausch called me today to offer condolences and promise
the consolation of some of Erika's amazing home cooked
comfort food so I don't forget to eat (yeah, like that's going to
happen). We then moved on to see if we could set a date for
his Grub 2 talk.

We're pencilled in do Grub 2 with Michael Trausch as the
presentation for the ALE Central meeting on May 17th. :-)

in peace,
aaron
