[b]FX, I’m sorry that my reply is so late – May I make a suggestion? It would be nice to write to his widow. A huge big long letter – don’t miss out anything. Explain your feelings, why you didn’t get back in contact & write about all the good times you all had. She will cry, but she will hopefully keep the letter & read it again from time to time when she feels down. Do it for her & do it for you – it will make you feel better & turn your friend’s memory into a happy memory.Love

thank you nick, and no you are not dragging sad thoughts back, i think about my friend in good happy terms, and yes i have spoken to his wife several times and we have actually been able to laugh, you see my friend was an extremely anal engineer as well as being also funny whimsical and into science fiction…at any rate we were discussing his blood pressure and i said that i cant believe he didnt take his own blood pressure and keep careful little records, she said wait a minute and went to the file cabinet, and there, under blood pressure, was a file with careful little dates and times and blood pressures recorded, now this may sound grim but we both had to laugh because yet again he had not let us down! thank you for your sweet letter, and i think i will write her a nice long letter too,you can’t take out a phone call years later and reread and remember…love fx
