Jackoboy I:

 So old Ben has bit the dust - Just had a note from Nancy Ackerson - her pop. John T. has gone also - 

cancer of the prostate & bladder - Nancy didn't give date, but assume it must have been recent - like October or November. Her address: Mrs. Nancy Kowalchuck, 665 Rose Drive, PARAMUS, New Jersey, 07652

Sorry to hear about your sister - crossed out daughter - my wife died of cancer - its an awful disease and

I have sympathy for anyone who has it, but sympathy doesn't do no good - I know.

 So old H.H. Lewis is still kicking?! I don't blame you from being scared - I would be too - Lemme [sic] know

how it goes - if student gets a scoop, or whatever he is after. Seems like old HHL is the same, or more so.

 Will hold up, if I can, on DECEMBER - April is not too long to wait, since we didn't expect THAT, did we?

Johnson received two photos from U. of Va., plus two drawings - underline what /underline he's gonna do with all that is anybody's guess. I'm just a-waiting - Who -ee -ee! Carry on, Jack II
