continued a long correspondence after his wife became disabled. He
was a remarkably talented man and was enriched by a never ending
font of knowledge and an wonderful sharing personality. He was so
accepting of the changes in his life style, there is an incredible
message there for those of us who tenaciously hang on to life as we
once knew it. I will miss my exchange with John, he was indeed a
remarkable fellow. RIP John Burgess.
