Yesterday she got her car stuck in the snow, and I went to help her get it out. She and my daughters had been passing the time in someone's home nearby. The occupant turned out to be a widow. As my three-year-old, Becky, and I followed my wife's car home, she told me, "Mrs. Spencer lost her husband." I asked, "Where did she lose him?". Becky replied, "I don't know, but he's very, very lost." Steve Wolf Hewlett-Packard Company {ihnp4|hplabs}!hpfcla!woof Fort Collins, Colorado
