The important news is simply that Vickie passed away last night. Chris has been by her side and caring for her and sharing not only his love but love and wishes and memories from so many of us. And paying Happy's music, of course. None of us would be here without Vickie and her tireless and persistent efforts to share widely the music of Happy and other worthy artists. I'm so grateful to her and will honor her always. - -seneca On Sat, Dec 30, 2023, 9:53b/AM Ellen Rawson wrote: > I didn't see anything, sorry. > > Ellen > > -- > Ellen Rawson > ellenr@fastmail.com > > On Sat, 30 Dec 2023, at 5:09 PM, Kerry White wrote: > > [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type image/png which had a name > > of image.png] Does this mean no one saw the image or just some > > technobabble? > > > > On Sat, Dec 30, 2023 at 10:38b/AM Kerry White > wrote: > > > >> There is a private group on FB Happy Rhodes Fan Club and Chris is using > >> VICKIE MAPES WILLIAMS page, too.

Exactly. Vickie's passion for good music was the impetus that brought us all together and changed our lives for the better. I will always honour her and am so grateful to have met her in person, and to have met her with Chris by her side. Chris, sending you all my thoughts and--there aren't words for what you're going through. Blessings to you. - --Neile > On Dec 30, 2023, at 11:16 AM, drahma@gra.midco.net wrote: > > Vickie tuned a lot of us into good music and good friendships. > Rest in peace, > dear. > ~Dylan > On Sat, Dec 30, 2023 at 01:13 PM, Seneca Spurling > wrote: > The important news is simply that Vickie > passed away last night. > > Chris has been by her side and caring for her and > sharing not only his love > but love and wishes and memories from so many of us. > And paying Happy's > music, of course. > > None of us would be here without Vickie > and her tireless and persistent > efforts to share widely the music of Happy and > other worthy artists. > > I'm so grateful to her and will honor her always. > -seneca > > On Sat, Dec 30, 2023, 9:53b/AM Ellen Rawson (mailto:ellenr@fastmail.com)> wrote: > > I didn't see anything, sorry. > > Ellen > > -- > Ellen Rawson > ellenr@fastmail.com (mailto:ellenr@fastmail.com) > > On Sat, 30 Dec > 2023, at 5:09 PM, Kerry White wrote: > [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of > type image/png which had a name > of image.png] Does this mean no one saw the > image or just some > technobabble? > > On Sat, Dec 30, 2023 at 10:38b/AM Kerry > White > wrote: > There is a > private group on FB Happy Rhodes Fan Club and Chris is using > VICKIE MAPES > WILLIAMS page, too.

In case the png was clipped: Chris here: My apologies, I don't use Facebook myself and I'm not familiar with the distinctions between posts and groups and everything else. This is not a lack of technical ability, which I have in abundance, but just a severe distaste for the company and everything it stands for and I trust Mark Zuckerberg about as far as I can throw the little twerp. So my apologies if I don't know how to change all the settings and turn her page into a memorial. My preference is to set up a proper memorial page on a site not affiliated with Facebook.

The Ecto mailing list has long been configured to pass postings through "demime" which removes attachments and strips 8-bit characters. So the list has never really supported including image attachments. In this case posting the text, rather than a screenshot of the text, was the right thing to do. (I also lament how we have reached a point where it is somehow considered easier or more appropriate to post screenshots of text rather than text in many online forums. In particular screenshots are often inaccessible to visually-impaired users, especialy those who use screenreaders which can easily convert text to speech, but can't do optical character recognition in images.) ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #3548 ****************************
