Susie—



I just found out about Don, and I’m so sorry. I never had the pleasure of meeting you but feel I know you well from all the years playing golf with Don. Don called me in early May to tell me about his series of setbacks, but he fully expected to be ready to play golf in Chicago this summer, and we were all looking forward to some more good times. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
