Dear Corky: It was a great pleasure knowing your dad when you and I were friends in our early high school years. Many fond memories: at your family's home in Winnetka and their estate in Dixon.
I last spoke with him at a rally for the "Heart of America" entry in the America's Cup defense in 1987.
May God bless him, you, Jimmy, Leslie, and all of your families!
