Oh Gary I cant believe youre gone. I called to invite you to lunch and discovered the sad news from Carole. You were not only a brilliant and gifted person, but also a saving grace at Jefferson for me. You always knew just what to say to calm me down. I miss you being in the world and I hope, should the Buddhists be right, that youre on your way to their version of the Elysian Fields. If thats not your karma, may you reincarnate to a happy and fruitful life.
