Mary, My deepest sympathies in the loss of your father. I have VERY fond memories, one in particular of your dad picking us up from the movies, many "moons" ago...I also lost my dad Oct., '07, and my deepest thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Naz kind of keeps us all in touch through their newsletter, but I wanted to express my personal condolences. Email me, if you get a chance.

Ed was truly one of our most enjoyable members. He was never without comment at any meeting and kept us on our toes. The Chicago Committee on High Rise Buildings has, and always will miss him. I personally enjoyed his quick wit and sense of humor.
