Hi Janet--

Sorry to learn about Henry's death.

I was very happy to re-connect with Henry and you after so many years going different ways and living in different places.

I will hold good memories of Henry, especially playing high school basketball together and hanging out with him in his orange jalopy.

Best wishes,

Larry Blades
