Eiko,

I wanted to sewn you my condolence(s), for the loss of your husband.

When I worked for Joe Reynolds and the Special Driver Training Program, you were always kind and helpful to me.
I remember you at your desk in the Marengo Street Office, always cheerful.
I do not have a photo but I was the "kid" with the handlebar mustache--more commonly known as Mary's little brother. The youngest in the program,

Take heart, you will see him again.

I knew Fred as the husband of Eiko who was my secretary in the mid-sixties in the L.A. Unified School District. She was a tremendous asset and ergo Fred must have been the same. Condolences to Eiko and the entire Sakuda family.
