Penny and I are busy filling your highpointing orders. I don’t know why they call me “Mother Merc,” Penny does all the work.- Jean.
Update in December 2011 – It’s just me, Jean, at the helm of the Merc now. I lost my able assistant and beloved friend
Penny, this year. She was almost 14, she had had a good life, but it was time for her to go.
She will live forever in my heart.
