Barbara and Perry, I am so sorry for your loss. Your parents and mine shared a lot of fun times together. I remember seeing your mom at NIH when I worked there. Barbara, I remember you and I took tap and ballet together. Did you know that Goldie Hahn was taking private lessons in the corner while we were shuffling around?
