I had the pleasure of working with Greg as volunteers fighting for affordable housing years ago, even traveling to Washington DC together a few times. Although we had different approaches sometimes, I never had to wonder where Greg stood on an issue. Though we had lost touch, he had been in my thoughts over the years as I recalled the good things that we had been able to accomplish. He will remain in my thoughts still....and I wish you the best.
