Happy Birthday, Cheri
It's been a long time since our visiting you and Scott in SLC, but I have a vivid memory of it and of you!

Yes, smart, witty and helpful describe Simeon. We were on the Pyle literary magazine and the Black&White staff together. I remember how Simeon would wip out a saterical version of the newspaper for the staff on a regular bases. After two years on the Black&White staff, I wanted to write under less pressure, material that would last. Lisa Gessow suggested I switch to the SAGA. I knew I had tell the Black&White's hard driving sponsor, Dr.B., and feared her angry response. Not knowing what to tell Dr.B, I asked Simeon for advice. He said, "Tell her that you want to experience as much as possible during your high school days by being on both the newspaper and the yearbook. If she gets mad, just remember that she is here for us not us for her." Thanks to you Simeon I was able to get my reason accross to her and deflect an angry reponse.
There is more wit now in Samayin as Simeon has entered there.
My mother was a friend of Simeon's mom. The family was extremely well educated and refined and I enjoyed the time I spent at the home when we would visit. Simeon was not a close friend, but I certainly knew him from childhood and was aware of his intelligence and kindness. Sending my deepest condolences to his immediate and extended family. May his memory be for a blessing.
Duane was also in my dental school class of 1979 at University of Maryland. I saw him at meetings and looked forward to meet up. He always singled me out to say hello. He was very generous with clinical recommendations and I appreciated his down to earth nature. I'll think of him often.
