To Christina and the Simos Family~

I extend to all my deepest sympathy on the passing of your brother, son, and father. Constantinos was my sixth grade student at the old Tracy School in the late 60s. How well I remember the principal, Mr Jones, bringing Constantinos and Christina, speaking only a few words of English, to my classroom. It was such a marvelous experience sharing that year with you both.

With love and sympathy,
