Thanks to everyone who made all those kind remarks in various places last month after my mother died. I've not responded individually (I did not have the strength) but I did read them all and they were deeply appreciated. Yesterday would’ve been mum‘s 93rd birthday. A little side-note occurred to me the other day: Since she left us a month ago, she was just short of having seen two perfect square years. (This year and 1936.) Anyway, still on the theme of playing with numbers, my siblings ...
