Judy and I met 45 years ago at what was then Skokie Valley Hospital when we were both pregnant with our first children. Although we didn't stay in touch as our lives diverged, I have thought about her all these years and was saddened to read of her death in the JUF News. My condolences to you, Howard, and your family.
