Dear Mary:
It has been many years since I've seen you, in fact Sept. 16, 1961 at my wedding. At that time I was Lou's secretary. I saw him in the new office some years ago when I was visiting some friends. I am so sorry to hear about his death and I will keep him and you and your family in my prayers.

I will always remember Mr. Keating as a man who loved to share knowledge. He would engage us as children in learning games. He loved to teach. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He also faced his health challenges bravely. He will be greatly missed.
