In many ways Jerry and I grew up almost as brothers, when we were young. For we had all the very same relatives. And spent many of our summers together at Grandma Holt's on Whidbey Island. I will miss him greatly. JGH

I was one of those who enjoyed discussing world problems with Arnie at the beach. I only knew him for a year, but enjoyed our conversations.
