Re: AGA memorial fund for Vicki Costley

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Yup. I could be wrong on that one. And there's a way to see
each of the reasons for refusal as arbitrary or uncaring,
espeically if one is one the other side of the issue.

Probably, this is going to be like poking a red anthill,
however we do it.

Partly too what I had in mind was that maybe we don't want
to bring AB into it (she's not ours, go bug AB about it).
My only thought is that he might get it in his head we're
dumping on him, and AGA doesn't need the tension or bad
word of mouth that might result. But you know the presence
of tensions or lack of them, better than I.
