Subject: another one of us gone

I've decided to get things started to provide a card for discussion purposes.  It follows below.  This doesn't suggest that I think
this is necessarily best.  I have tried to keep it fairly simple.
There is the possibility there should be more than one standard 2/1 card.
One sort of Hardy style (the most frequent style I run into), another
Eastern Scientific, a sort of BWS.

Anyway, here goes.
