Neil just heard that the man who got the mechincal heart is up and joking with the hospital staff. So the rumers of his demise were premature.
Bonnie

Last night around 10 pm we were getting home from the movies. This as you know is way past my bedtime! I did not even want to go to the movies but the babysitter was available so we went. Anyway, As the baby sitter was pulling out of the driveway and Bonnie was accross the street in her car waiting to pull in a car pulls up to the house. Its dark, we diid not put the outside light on before we left, and when the guy gets out of the car I could not make out who he was. The man approached and started to ask me directions when I recognized the Brazillian accent! It was Ricardo Dacunha. He was a photographer at Popular club plan and I have not seen him since 1996? He was driving out of Washington on route 57 when he saw the Anderson motel When the thought popped in his head that we lived out here somewhere. Like me he had thought of us many times over the years and said now is the time. Of course he had vague ideas on where we lived, but thought that he definatly remembered what the house looked like! He stopped when he saw Bonnie and I drive up and he thought that he would ask us if we knew the Andersons. I do not believe in coincedence or luck. The forces that brought this together were amazing. I should have been asleep, the house looks nothing like what he remembered let alone that he even found the right street, the babysitter usually does not park in our driveway but on the street in which case she would have been gone already and we would have been inside the house! We talked and exchanged e-mail addresses and will be getting together very soon! WOW,neil
