Not about birds or butterflies but many of you that get these emails knew Les, 
who died suddenly in December.  The following message is from Olga and Jessie 
Mehrhoff.

Hello everyone,
 
Jessie and I have finally settled on a date and time for the memorial service. 
It will be held at the Storrs Congregational Church at UConn. The date is 
Saturday, March 12th at 11:00 AM. We realize that some of you may not be able to 
attend on that day, but truthfully there would be conflicts for some on any 
final date. We went to see the reception area of the church and found it to be 
very welcoming and cozy. A group of women from the church are very experienced 
at providing appetizers and finger foods and we were told they do a beautiful 
job. It will also be easier on the attendees because they won't have to go to 
their cars and drive to a different location. It makes it much more 
convenient if the weather doesn't cooperate as well.  Pastor Karen has been 
incredibly helpful with suggestions and I think we have some great ideas, so Les 
will get the tribute we all feel he so much deserves.
 
So I am asking all of you to please pass this information on to any that may be 
interested in attending. I would still welcome any thoughts, suggestions and/ or 
comments regarding the service. Jessie and I have a couple of great ideas as 
well. I am scheduled to meet with Pastor Karen on Feb. 4th to further discuss 
the details of Les' service.
 
There is a sense of relief having gotten all of this settled. We really feel we 
need to gain some closure to move forward. We also want to thank all of you for 
your beautiful cards, endearing notes and well wishes. We received such an 
outpouring of love that it really meant a lot to us and truly gave us the 
strength to move forward. We were also overwhelmed by the stories of how many 
lives Les really did touch or impact in some way...it just completely filled our 
hearts with so much pride. We always knew we had a really special guy in our 
lives.
 
Thank you all again and we hope to see you at the memorial service.
 
Sincerely,
Olga and Jessie
