Another issue. And I hate to complicate things but the Internet Archive is
going to honor Shiva - the week long morning required by Jewish tradition.
We are targeting Jan 24 which is a week after the funeral.
Apparently Aaron honored Jewish traditions and I think we should honor this
one as well.
I am not sure that the family officially requested it but I'm finding out
now.
The Internet Archive is going to honor it though.
