George,
Thanks for updating us.  LouiZe was a great gal.  I had the pleasure of meeting her and working on her van.  She got right in there and greasy replacing the CVs.  She wanted to know how to do this herself in the future. 
 
She also came out camping with the Empire bunch at Southwick State Park and sang around the campfire with us.  We all had a great time. She is featured on our web site with a picture of her plucking at Phil's guitar here http://www.empirevwcamping.org/do.htm

Subject: A death in our family

  I'm sad to inform y'all that we have lost a treasured member of our community.

  LouiZe Christensen, originally from Rochester NY, and an Atlanta
resident for 20 years died in a private plane crash in Ghent NY
yesterday afternoon.

  LouiZe was a graphic designer, drummer extraordinare and free spirit
who lived either in her '90 Westy or on her sailboat if she happened
to be between rented carriage houses.  She was also known to occupy
our condo every now and then, taking care of the place when we were on
a road trip.

  And, for those of you who never met her, she was _a force of nature_.

  Don't believe me?  Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KkalOrNlzo

  Just a blur at 40 seconds into the video, leading the band.

  Ya shoulda been there.

George & Jo/ATL
