I was saddened to think of Dale and others of you who knew having to carry this through the week-end. What a difficult choice to make whether to share this with the other Cirque participants or hold it privately. I can only say that I was unaware of any level of grief during the Cirque but that had you made the other choice, to share the experience with the total community ( because that is what we are), I would personally have welcomed that as well.
