I would like to extend my sympathy to the Gros family upon Mrs. Gros's death. I was shocked to see that Sterling had preceded her in death, however. Sterling and I went through grammer school, jr. high school and high school together. He had a wonderful sense of humor, and we had good times during those school days. We saw each other at a few of Behrman's class reunions, but failed to keep in touch beyond those occasions. I am sure that his family misses him greatly.
