RE: Happy New Year to everyone!
In a letter Ralph Newman wrote to Carl Sandburg on January 2, 1954, he noted that while he hated to see any year pass, he wasn't sad that 1953 was over. Not only did he suffer personal loss, but that was the year James G. Randall and Douglas Southall Freeman died. I agree with Newman only my attention is on 2020. I don't know anyone who will be sorry to see it go. It perfectly fit the definition of an annus horriblis.

Here's hoping that 2021 is far better for us all.

Best
