Table Talk • August 26, 2026
For several weeks in a row Table Talk has included tributes to fanciers who passed away. I was saddened to have to include what felt like an unending number of obituaries. Sadly, as we age, we know more of the people that pass way. It is the unpleasant part of life. What is NOT part of life is […]
