Hugh, I miss you! The 3 forsythia plants you planted for us in the back of the yard were always a joy to see. I've been growing another from a cutting in your memory. It will be planted in the same corner of the yard where the ones you planted once resided.

He was a fantastic person with a brilliant mind - a joy to be with. Kindhearted, caring. I am grateful for the time Jacqui and I were able to spend with Hugh, Kathy and Jaime. .

Dear Kathy, I hope you remember me from the past! This is just a note of sympathy re Hugh's passing. He was a true force in our field through his work at TKTS. the NEA and beyond. It is so hard to lose a loved one who has been both a professional and personal partner. My thoughts are with you and your family during this time of grief. Warmest regards, Karen Brooks Hopkins
