Hi Gail,

You may not remember me - my sister and brother-in-law are Liz and Chuck Martin. I have happy memories of you and Alan at Big Bass Lake, and I also knew Alan as part of the Somerset County legal community. He was a kind, thoughtful, smart lawyer who epitomized professionalism. My sympathies to you and the family.
