Margot DeHope sent me a wonderful picture of John and Reno on the couch. We also got the same package. It reminded me of one night at a recent national when John and I went out together for dinner. I remember the restaurant, it was a steak house where you got your steak at the counter, (not fancy) and I remember the restaurant was in a circle that was also where the show was. I don't remember the city. We talked about him stopping smoking, then went on to settle all the problems of the world. That was the last time I spent any extended time with John, but he would often call late at night to just talk. It was good to see the letters and that Margo was kind enough to respond to our messages to her. Life is short my friends, we don't want to have to talk about only memories of each other, but when we do, it is hopefully with fond thoughts, and that seems to be all we can strive for. Do well, and enjoy life, so that those who continue on when we are gone, can have pleasant memories as we do of John.
