   With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it

  is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost

   went unnoticed recently.   Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey

    Pokey", died peacefully at age 93.   The most traumatic part for his

   family was getting him into the coffin.  They put his left leg in.  And

                          then the trouble started.



Cheers
