Joyce, my sincere condolences to you, Cindy and Wendy! Jim and I first met you and Dwight in May, 1969, and we had many good times together.
The thing I think we have laughed about most over the years is the time the four of us were on the Riverfront in St. Louis to go to dinner (probably at the Robert E. Lee). Being fashionable, you and I had on those high heels that were probably called spikes. Those uneven cobblestones are difficult enough to walk on in the best of shoes and in the best of times and there we were wearing those shoes and also you were quite pregnant with Wendy. We were all laughing so hard about how difficult it was to walk and you and I have laughed about that over the years.
I´m grateful for the friendship Jim and I had with you and Dwight!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Cindy and Wendy.
