I am saddened to learn of Freude's passing and my condolences to Freude's family. I did not get a chance to know her children. Elon - I did spend time with your father Scott. My brothers and I spent time at the Reno Hotel in the Bartlett, DeWitt days. We traveled up from Los Angeles to visit several times and work on shows together.
