Dear Alice,
I receved you note today, Tuesday June 11.
Yes, I look back on the many, many good times we had with Dick and you in college and occassionally when we came East. I especially remember the cameraderie when we were together at Phil Gilbert's in July 2011.
My three kids live in Pennsylvania, England and Canada. I rarely get to see them - only when I go (to Patricia last Christmas in England) or when they have a reason to come West. (Bill's consulting for a firm with an office in La Jolla). I hope at least some of your three daughters are closer.
Let's keep in touch.
At present, I have no plans to come East, but if I ever do, I'll be sure to let you know so we can get together.
You have my very best regards. Dick was one of my favorites.
