Dear Peg,

So sorry to hear about Dewey. Dewey was one of the nicest guys I ever knew in my life and alway thought about contacting you but just kept putting it off and I will always be sorry I did not get in touch.

We were in Florida at that time and did not read about it till we got home. Would love to talk to you or have a cup of coffee sometime. My phone number is (707) 935-1410
