I lived across the street. From Jim and Sandy on Claridge St in Phila. I often thought about both of you. I was looking to find both of you just to reminisce about our days on Claridge. Sorry I waited so long. I love the painting Jim gave me and one my late wife Rosemary and I purchased at a lasalle high school auction. Hope you are well Sandy. Dan Richards. It never gets easy. Love.
