My sincere sympathies on the passing of your dear husband, father and grandfather. Ben Ostrar was a true gentleman and educator. I can attest to the high calibre of the children he and his wife raised. No greater legacy can any person have. My best wishes.

I was librarian at the Willard School during Mr. Ostrar's principalship. He was always cheerful and helpful and full of good advise for a then young librarian working in a new environment. I extend my prayers and sympathy to the family.
