Grace,
Maureen and I are so sorry to hear about Arthur. Bob and Bridgid Gleason have kept us informed of Arthurs health issues over the last few years when we talked during our Summer visits to Scituate. It is unfortunate that we could not have more contact prior to Arthurs illness, we did have some good times in the early years of our lives. Our prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult times.
