DR. PAUL H. WENDER M.D.

My sympathies to all the family. Janet (Cohen) Robertson

Dear Frances, Ira and famil,
I just got the news of Paul's death here in Cambridge UK, and send you all my condolences. We had drifted apart over the past few years and I regret that now bitterly. I will be back in Philadelphia from tomorrow, home phone 267 - 455 - 0776. if either of you want to be in touch. I have memories of our joint childhood, which I am certain I am the only person who can recall them. I also remember the Wender parents vividly and with affection.
my warmest...

On behalf of the Harvard Class of 1955, may I extend my sincere condolences to all the Wender family. Paul had a long and distinguished career, andI know that all of his classmates and friends will be as sorry as I was to receive the news.

I will remember Paul's wit and wisdom with great fondness. I could always trust him to cut through the nonsense.
