Not sure what to say?

Arigato, Heinlein-san. Your poems sing. We'll meet again. And yes we'll read James Joyce, won't we? You cannot be not missed. Your sister and the peonies - they too miss you; Agape. Shalom. Marguerite sends love to you and Betty and David Michael.

so many fond memories of Cousin Sandy

many fond memories of Cousin Sandy...

I knew Sandy since late 80's at Rutgers area since his Mom Bety was my wife's English teacher. We visited their Piscataway home several times and had a lot of fun time especially during the severy July 4th holidays.

David was a champion of Christ Church and the historic record of New Brunswick....
