Dear Ariel,
I found this notice , looking to visit you both. My deepest condolences to you, much belated, on your loss of Jack. He was a friend of my husband John, a professor in the Art department at Catholic University. We had long hoped to visit you and Jack in Santa Fe, but own our health challenges kept preventing travel.
John passed last month. I think of the two of them are in the beyond loving and relishing beauty and harmony, easy communication and painting in the way the physics of that place makes possible.
I hope you are doing well. This staying behind for a while is a harder task than anticipated, isn't it?
Peace , Rosemary Winslow

Jack will remain as a bright star in my memory. It was always a pleasure to meet up with him and have a conversation. He was intelligent, had a wonderful sense of humor and an exceptional sense of aesthetics -what a lovely harmony.
My condolences and best wishes to his lovely wife Ariel and their extended family.
