[IL-Talk] Connie Canode

[Robert Hansen]

Yeah Rick and Connie lived in Madison Wisconsin since the middle 1980s.
They used to come down to the conventions in the 2000s. It's a long story.
But I used to go visit them a lot up in the 90s and up until about maybe
15-20 years ago. I used to talk to Connie on the phone a lot. I did get a
phone call on the day she passed away. And so I knew about it. I guess a
couple of people left her notes of condolence on her facebook.
