DEar Maryann,
Very belatedly I want do convey my sincere condolences with Jim’s passing. I did not hear about this until recently, but even though quite some time has passed, I did not want to simply let this without letting you and your family know how I always admired Jim’s stoicism facing the loss of one eye and the subsequent battle with his melanoma.
