  6. Dee Dee – I am sorry to hear your mother died. It’s been a long time since we last spoke but one of the things I recall most about you was how close your family was and what “good” kids you all were – a testament to both your mother and your father! Not sure I ever met them – maybe once when they were visiting you in Boston – but sorry to hear the news (although belatedly). Hope all is well with you and if you get a chance would love to touch base. It has been a long time!! Bill Locke
