Miriam & family-
I have known Jerry since September 1955 when I met him as a fellow freshman at JHU. He was one whom I held in high regard throughout our 4 y there. I even remember meeting his mom (with his encouragement) as a stopover when I joined my parents in Boston in 1956 for Thanksgiving.
It was great to see him with you at a reunion after his marriage. Laura and I looked forward to reunions as an opportunity to see you both.
May his memory be for a blessing!
