Dear John and David,
My sincere condolences on the loss of both your mother and father. Our family bought Christmas Trees for years from your dad. My father worked with your Dad at EB and my mother interfaced with your mother in the music world and I was your art teacher for one year at Ledyard Center school.

Carol Langdon Kohankie
