Manny: My heart felt condolences on the loss of Joan. I deeply regret that after Roosevelt HS we all took our own paths. Often away from our Chicago home. I delighted in seeing you fulfill your dream to become a coach and added pleasure to learn you returned to "our Roosevelt HS" as head coach. Edelcup and the rest would have been proud as I am. I look forward to seeing you soon to personally express my regrets in not meeeting Joan, and being away from good friends for so long.
