Betty, my deepest sympathies extended to you and your family in Norman’s passing. I had a great respect for Norman and the way he always supported your teaching career at Kosh School. I have special memories of working with you and our visits. (I asked my sister to send this in that I am currently in the nursing home with a broken leg but hope to be returning home in a few weeks.
