Carolyn I’m not sure if you even remember me and my late husband, Pete. Our relationship mostly through our shared friendship with Bob and Marilyn Wentz, but also with your counseling of a few of our kids at Penn. I was very sorry to hear of John’s passing. He was a nice guy and you were a good couple, an example of what a good marriage is. My condolences to your and your daughter and to your’s and John’s extended families.
Please wait...
