To Elsie and the family and friends of "Wyn" Shudt, Esq.,

I began the private practice of law in Troy in 1972, first at 10 Second Street over Lucy's Luncheonette and later at 18 Second Street directly across the street from Wyn's law firm over Pioneer Savings Bank. The clustering of attorneys in that section of Troy afforded us ample opportunity for social interaction apart from our professional encounters. This environment fostered a camaraderie that enriched our lives and deepened our respect and admiration for one another. And so it was with regard to Wyn. He was not only an excellent attorney, he was also a good human being who will be missed by all. It is hoped that the memory of happy, shared times together will provide a measure of solace during this difficult period.

You have my sincere condolences.
