Hi, this is Hans Morris, and I lived near the Gelbands and went from Henry Barnard Elementary through Dartmouth College with Patty. I have a very distinct and positive memory of Mr Gelband; he was a wise head, and we seemed to almost have adult conversations together; even when I was 12 and collecting on my paper route. I would also read his very astute tax columns in Barrons and think of him as my friend when I read them. I send my best wishes, and fond memories to Patty and Nina. Patty, if you read this, I would love to say hi.
