Welcome Seventeen

It always delights me when I note that another person has decided publicly to follow Ghulf Genes. Sometimes I mark the event. It delights me to welcome Julie Novak, a name with big reverberations from our Minnesota past, one of Michelle's closest friends in high school! Modern life scatters us, the web finds and reunites us. Our last memory of Julie had to do with North Dakota and a brief visit she paid to Michelle in Paris years ago. In the vast current of Time, old friends are cherished islands of permanence.
