They seem to be doing well (enough), and at the time that I have written this I did not find out if I can post pictures. <\/p>\n<p>And yesterday, Ned lost his 97-year-old grandmother, Victoria Marcus Olds.  Ned is named for her (his middle name is Marcus, which is her maiden name).  Grandma O was quite a dear person, lively and bright, warm and loving.  She felt like a grandma to me right away; she was very easy to be with and she really cared about what each and every one of us was doing\/thinking\/working on.  She is known for how she would ask us question after question.  I always loved that about her, and I will really miss her.  <a href=\"http:\/\/nedbatchelder.com\/text\/victoria-olds.html\">Ned wrote a beautiful piece about her last night<\/a> that really says it all.
