When the German team arrived at Abydos to take up residence in their house, the police rolled a tank out to their house and ran over our phone line, snapping it in two. So, we had no internet access for the last week at Abydos.
We departed Abydos Monday evening, October 22, arriving in Cairo the morning of October 23. At our first check of email, we discovered sad news had been waiting for us. We spent several hours crying before deciding to return to Philadelphia a day early in order to get to Boston in time for the memorial service in honor of our friend, Stine Rossel, who was an amazing light in every situation.
I will not recount the details of her tragic death here. For those who don't know about it already, there are many newspaper articles available online, one of which you can see here http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-102307-newlyweds,0,6074391.story
