Claire, after you and I (Rosie) met in a Chat Room on the internet many, many years ago, we finally arranged to meet. We enjoyed being with you and Art, although with us living in Florida, we only got together a couple of times when we visited relatives in Connecticut. At those times, Art was such a gracious host and had a great sense of humor. Please accept our most sincere sympathy on his passing.
