Maury, David, Dale and I worked at the Kennedy Center in Wash DC in the70's when Nixon was sworn in. We spent a lot of our time driving our boss Ed Prim around. We enjoyed setting up for events and met and talked to bands, celebrities and liquid golded many walls there. I ran into Maury and son at the Fairfax County Courthouse where I worked and thus began a long lasting friendship again. Maury, his wife and daughter became a constant in Dale and my life again. Maury was a wonderful man and great family man. I will miss him. My mother thought the world of him too.

I remember meeting cousin for the first time when my dad was visiting Aunt Madge in Dayton, Ohio. I was 12 then and he was 3. We were camped out in sleeping bags in the Dining room and every five minutes or so Maury would run out of his room and dive on my brothers and I. We would moan and groan and he would laugh and laugh. The start of precious memories
