Jane wrote me about Pat Tunis. Very sorry to hear. Jane also said you read a poem at his memorial service. What poem? Am very curious.
Talked to Nancy today. She's being very brave — and is kept busy being administrator & guardian for little Mitch.
I was quite sick for the past 2 weeks. Was bit by a virus which went to my chest (thought I might get pneumonia) as well as my bum sinuses. Took antibiotics etc. and am better now altho I have to avoid air-conditioning — and we've been having a heat wave (in the 100°s) We were planning a little jaunt to San Diego but will wait till I'm 100% OK.
At least my back is better — as I've had quite a Rest. Hope you're settled satisfactorily.
Love from all
V & D
