I met Ira during a Columbia College Chicago Alumni event for those living in L.A., most of whom were in the film industry.

Ira and I have known each other for sixty years.
we crashed the Republican convention together in 1956 by posing as camera men. We wore standard headphones. security was much more lax than today. We have contacted each other on our birthdays each year. Ira made his last call on no one's birthday. His timing was off. I was concerned, and asked, but he didn't let on. He will be missed.

from one of your (old) friends,

Randy
