<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear members </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there anyone who could explain to me the
meaning of "mensch" in this context: "[...] but he was always solid with me
throughout our long relationship and I think of him fondly. So, do hundreds of
other people because he was, as they say in yiddish (sic), a
mensch."?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanx in advance,</FONT></DIV>
