Karen. So great to have spoken to you again today, even though it was on this saddest of occasions. I have fond memories of Jed, who truly enjoyed the reunion experience and getting reacquainted with those young men he'd bonded with over a half-century ago. I'm proud to be one and to have known him.

Bless you and your family.
