My friend, Linda and I had the chance to meet Jack several years ago and give him a whirwind tour of Notre Dame and our city of South Bend, IN. What an enjoyablat day and what a charming man! Later, at an Overlan family wedding we met you, Elaine and what a pleasant circumstance that was.
We offer our deepest condolences to you, Elaine and to your family on your loss.
