Geri, I am so sorry. You and Jack were a perfect team, and you both contributed so much to the library world and the lives of many individual librarians, including me.

Dear Geri,
I'm so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I think of him every time I pass the Hamline Law Library. I remember him taking a group of us there on a little field trip when I was working on my MLIS at St. Kates. My sincere condolences.

Gerry, you and Jack showed me what it might be to live in the community of librarians. Thank you both for your friendship. Jack's quiet humor made every gathering better. As my Quaker friend says, I will hold you in the light ....
