Hello Dick, I recently came across a letter you wrote to a graduating senior from Babson College back in 1985. Her name was Judy Pearson. She kept this letter all these years; likely because it was incredibly nice, encouraging and complimentary. This special woman lost her life to pancreatic cancer just about a year ago, and I thought you would like to know how much your words meant to her, evidenced by her framed copy of this letter that you gave her.The purpose of finding and reaching out to you was simply to let you know the impact you have had on some folks. I too have been blogging about my journey in losing Judy because she was my best friend and wife. Thank you Dick.
Your comment brought me to tears. Judy was an outstanding athlete but, moreover, an outstanding person. I’m deeply saddened by your and our loss. Every year, there would be one or two seniors to whom I would write. Judy was, as I’m certain you are aware, a very special lady. Thank you for writing to me. It hurts to think that she’s passed.
I’m a new reader to your blog, n’ i found many truths in the part of the Iraqi-Afgan war, so many, that i’m telling you to keep writing, because you write some very truthful words.
