Candy, please accept my condolences, especially to your children, on the passing of their father. While it has been many years since we spoke, I can only imagine the sorrow that you are dealing with in your home. Best wishes!

I learn with sorrow of James Salisbury's passing. Although he and I met only a few times (through his relatives, the Whiteley family), James's personality was so vivid as to make a permanent impression on me. I liked James and hope that we meet "on the other side."
