Apparently beyond the power of my browser, but the address line showed a
nostalgic name. I probably haven't thought of Harumi's brother, my friend Ben
Befu, in years. I'll try Google. (One can find neat things on Google. Last week
I found an old obituary for my brother; no one told me he had died.)

I'd like to share your sorrow over your loss of your brother.
How did you come to know about that? Will you refer me to the page?

Thanks
CK

Thanks, Chance. He is listed on this page of obituaries.

We probably hadn't met face to face for 40 years, and my last e-mail from him
would be 15 to 20 years ago. I had no idea he had remarried, or moved from the
Reno area. (Having once been kidnapped, I understand, by people in a UFO, he
liked to stay near Area Whatever.)

He was *not* survived by our little sister Jewel (not "Jewell"); she preceded
him by about a year. I have another brother who hasn't been heard from in about
50 years, and a half-brother I knew only as an infant. Not a very close-knit
family, although Jewel tried to keep up with us all (she and I did stay in
touch).

So he was hoping to be kidnapped again?

Not really sure, but I think he was hoping to find out more about his imaginary captors. I don't think he ever actually told me he had been aboard a UFO, but seemed to be hinting at it.

I didn't bother to set him straight, anyway.
