Barbara and I were delighted to hear your wonderful news. We are very pleased to learn of your good fortune in getting together with someone with whom you have so much in common: a multilingual Lutheran pediatrician from Finland who is ready to retire and enjoy travel, the outdoors, classical music and intellectual pursuits with you. I hope you and Dr. Leppo will be very happy together, as I think Dad would want you to be. I saw a few seconds of the Easter Pageant at the Crystal Cathedral on TV. It must have been spectacular. Robin and Mischa were with us for 10 days of Easter vacation, with Ian almost managing to keep up with them. Over the first weekend Barbara treated Robin to a weekend of skiing with friends from work (including one's son about his age) in the upper peninsula of Michigan, to wind up the ski season. Then she took Mischa and Ian for an overnight visit to Casey at her apartment in Waukeegan, Ill., where she is attending college. Rather than coming here for Easter Casey decided to join friends on a weekend trip to New Orleans. She hopes to spend her sophomore year at Oxford, England. Mischa is doing very well in first grade, getting even better report cards than Robin. He is about a year ahead of the rest of his class in mathematics. One day a week I spend an hour and a half with him at his school's computer lab after school, and the next day I usually spend time with Robin in his school's computer lab. Robin continues to enjoy participating in his school's chorus, and he is taking piano lessons. We went to his first piano recital not long ago, at a hospital nursing home.
Congratulations and best wishes to you and your husband to be,
