To Ralph, Leon and Ginny, I know this is late, but we have talked about your parents so often. We only lived in their beautiful double decker for two years, but kept in touch with them the seven more years we lived in Cambridge. And we came back and visited them one time after we had moved back to the Midwest. We have such fond memories of them. Such genuine, generous and joyful people. After one of our memories this evening I thought I would check to see if they were still with us. Although belated, I hope you will accept our sincere sympathies. They were wonderful people, and we appreciated their guidance and care for us as young adults coming to Boston in the early 80s. Much love to all of you and your families. Edie and Fred Waldstein
