To the Szold Family,

We were so saddened to learn of Myron's passing. We have fond memories of being neighbors on Oak St. in Evanston many years ago. We were also honored to have been included in the special birthday celebration evening a few year ago.

Our sincere condolences to all the family. May his memory be for a blessing.

Sincerely,

Phil and Lois Kupritz

I was one of Mikes housemates at Oberlin during the fall of 1957, his final semester at Oberlin. It's hard to remember he wasn't much past 21 as his was a presence we admired.



From the decades of his past, I and other chums from this era send you and those who loved him our hopes that your fond memories outlast your grief.

Pam -

Frank and I send loving thoughts to you and your family. The stories that you shared with me at Dance for Life about Myron's wonderful spirit throughout his illness have stayed with me and were the first things that came to mind when I heard the news. We are honored to have known him. We love you and look forward to seeing you soon.
