S. Hallock du Pont, Jr., of Vero Beach, Florida, and Wilmington, Delaware, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2021, after a lengthy illness. "Hal," to all who knew him, lived life to its very fullest, passionate about each and every one of his endeavors.

Hartmann’s Hints #84: Apprehension
Apprehension The thesaurus has several words that, for me, define apprehension, among them being worry, concern and anxiety. These pretty much state its meaning as well as being some of its synonyms. When we are competing, it is natural for us to have confidence in our skill, but along with that confidence, we may also have some level of apprehension.
