Mary Palmer, thank you so much for passing along this sad news; I hadn't
heard. I looked forward to seeing Jim at neighborhood and History Center
events. He was a really great teacher and wonderful guy and will be missed.
Unfortunately I am not able to be at the memorial service as I will be in
Cleveland OH for a week, so would appreciate it if you could give Lynn my
best.
 Sincerely, Geri
