Dear Lisa,
You may recall we met sitting at the same table with you and John at the reception following the memorial program for Ida Terkel.

With sincere sympathy,
Peg and Martin Deppe

It was my honor and privilege to work with Jud at WOSU-FM. I learned so much from him, and find many "Jud-isms" sprinkled throughout my conversations.

Lisa, We pray you will find peace and comfort in this time of sorrow. All of you are daily in our thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy,
