Anji et al had a good time in Fiji, and will've moved to Brisbane by the month's end. She says she'll resume sending out her newsletters: "The SCA newsletter will begin again when we get to brisbane, but it will now be SCAR, or RASC or CRAS or ARSC who knows." The "R" is for Ryan. She also said, "glad you wrote, was wondering where you were. not that i am very good at keeping on top of 'keeping in touch.'" Actually she and I are the only ones who DO keep in touch. I was always a prolific letter-writer, and she is not too shabby herself. My mum always wrote letters but rarely sent them, which means I found some out-dated missives after she died. My pater never wrote letters that I know about. My older sister is very good at sending special occasion cards, but not to a wide circle. My brother writes on occasion. Elizabeth sends cards frequently to about 60 billion people, all of whom are amused. I have no clue as to who she writes to, but when going through my father's things a card from E popped up -- pretty amazing since she last saw him in about... what? Hmmm... 1986? Not sure, not sure. I asked her periodically if she wanted to see him (asked my older sister, too, when she was here). I find it creepy that I've, for years, been the only person in the family who has talked to everyone. Not without a price, unfortunately, but oh, well. It's a family of people all with extremely strong clashing personalities, and it really says a lot that I was the most mild and giving of the bunch -- go ahead and snort derisively. In any other group of people it's quite the reverse.
I think I'm going to make a webpage for Caitlin, so I'd better go and do that now...
