    I just found out that Alice and Tom both passed away this summer. I usually would see them out and about for a late lunch, and had such a great time visiting with them. They were such a lovely couple. We enjoyed many chats about travelling and I often sent them postcards from San Francisco, New York and Wash. D.C., since I was on the road a lot, and I knew that Tom spent some time in SF during the war. Anyway, it is a real loss to me. As far as I can tell from Tom's obit, Alice died while I was in NY last, and Tom when I was in DC. No wonder I haven't found them in their usual haunts. We met over a chance conversation over the Sunday papers at a local eatery a couple of years ago. Bloomington will not be the same for me without them. Lyn Jentoft-Nilsen
