Ruth and Michael:

Enid and I just drove in vrom business in Virginia and found the obit for Sol in yesterday's paper.

Sorry that we could pay our respects there. Sol was a "one-of-a-kind" in every way and a true gentle-man. The community will miss him sorely.

We have fond memories of Sol sharing our law offices in earlier years and our many years at Woodcrest (following the weekend when Michael and his friend were there "baiting the fishing lines with fish")as an inducement.

Ruth - I'm not sure but I fear this must be your dear husband. You may not remember me but I bought one of your sculptures at the Chicago Cultural Center several years ago. And you and your husband delivered it for me. I send you my warmest thoughts and sympathy. Nancy
