This is way too late but I was a friend of both Clare and Jim years ago when we were both in Germany with Red Cross They were both wonderful people and I am sorry to have let so much time pass. I did visit with them in La Cross and the tree farm In the late 1990’s but seems so recent. My real regret not to have stayed in touch, Robert Vessey
