To the family of Avery Cardinal Dulles and his fellow Jesuits:
I, too, mourn the death of Cardinal Dulles and extend my deepest sympathy to you all. I have been an admirer, a friend, and pen pal of Cardinal Dulles for some time. In February, 2006, I mailed him 8 books on Auburn, NY and Cayuga County. I received several personally written responses from him, which I cherish.
