[governance] Sad news re Francis Muguet

Sat Oct 17 09:38:48 EDT 2009

Hi all,

So sad news indeed if can be confirmed. But I wonder how Francis' daughter
could not gather the courage and be more precise on the date of the death
and what caused the passing away of her father and our friend Francis.

Was he sick? Of what? Since when and where did he pass away?

The pill is so big to be swallowed like that. Can some one come out with
precise information on the matter?

Deep condolences if information is confirmed

Aaron
