Hi Dad, I figured you would enjoy an update on your grandkids! Jonah is 18 and just completed his first semester at SUNY Binghamton. He is thriving there, both socially and academically (and is playing intramural soccer too). He just got his own credit card and I told him about my first credit card from Marine Midland on which your name also appeared! Natan aka (maybe soon to be fka) Newtsie is 15 and is a sophomore at Brooklyn Tech. His is the closest to the person I was at his...

Your grandson Jonah will be graduating from Brooklyn Tech and going to college next fall. He got an outrageously high score on his SATs, and is an excellent soccer player, btw. Nathan is also at Brooklyn Tech. I am going to try to attach a picture of Lili next time. She is ten and darling. Mayo, Matt and the girls are going to Disney World Saturday. I think about our trip from time to time, and am sure they will have a wonderful time also. I miss you. Sadly, Rachel died last August....

Hi Honey,
Gerontissa Aemiliane recently sent me this photo of Gerontas at “your gerontas’ grave”. Gerontas was very ill from Covid and was hospitalized for many months but was recently discharged from rehab and is as good as ever.
We are all well and miss you endlessly. Valerie sent me a text message for your birthday; Gerga and I lit candles. You are forever in our hearts and thoughts. I miss you more than one more day

It is so hard. We all miss you more instead of less. I am not surprised because I always knew how extraordinary you are. Smartest thing I ever did, as I always said. I love you.

Hi Honey, I wrote you a long and newsey note last week and apparently neglected to send it. Very annoying. Clearly I have major problems with technology so I am not going to try anything that ambitious. Just that I love you as much as ever and miss you every day. So do your children.

Is this the New York photographer Ben Swedowski?
