Gail, I am sorry for the late posting; difficult to keep up on Schenectady happenings as more and more of my home town communication connections have ended. My condolences on the passing of your brother. While we had few direct contacts over the years, his kindness to my father and stepmother, and the great conversations we'd have in the back yard are remembered and much appreciated. Good health and happiness to you and your family. - Craig Lawless

One story was profoundly sad; Joe was a gifted athlete, notably, ...
