Hello Margaret: I was a friend of Mel's from way back. We grew up together on Casgrain Street in Montreal. I met you in December 1962 at his parents' apartment when the whole matter of your marriage was making big waves. I am glad to see that you did marry and that it was a successful marriage. Pease accept my condolences. David Kwavnick e-mail [email protected]

Dear Meg,
I just heard about Mel and wanted to offer my sincere condolences. How sad to hear about so many M&T'ers leaving us. I like to think that they're all together in a much better place.
