		<description><![CDATA[I am so sorry to hear of Bill&#039;s passing. I inked several issues of SABLE over his pencils for First Comics. I never spoke to him on the phone or met him (I don&#039;t get to many comic shows), but our mutual friend Marke Heike had told me what he knew about him at the time.

Mark was from Milwaukee and has lived in Florida working for AC Comics for many years. I know Mark already had some concerns about Bill way back then. I think Bill and I probably exchanged a couple of letters and I feel so bad that life didn&#039;t treat him better in the end. RIP.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh...my...gosh, Maija. I am so moved by your post. I can&#039;t wait to read part 2, but I had to first comment and tell you how much I LOVE YOUR WRITING!!!  And your spirit, and your openness, and your honesty.  I so relate to you in this way.  I have been looking for your blog for a while now (after losing my bookmarks).  I knew it was something with &quot;pig&quot; - you wouldn&#039;t believe the things I stumbled upon looking for it.  But I finally found you again, and I&#039;m so glad!  You are such a gifted writer, and I&#039;m a loyal follower of your writing.  Then there&#039;s the interracial piece! Wow. More in common. I&#039;m not interracial but some of my best friends are, lol.  Like, my two oldest daughters (Wrote this post about them thrilling the world and me http://bit.ly/3nPrqP) and my other 5 children.

You keep writing!!!  And I&#039;ll keep reading.

Btw, when I finally found your blog again, I tweeted this: http://bit.ly/49wOLH

Look forward to read everything you write.  :)
