I'd like to thank everyone who sent such kind, insightful replies to my
earlier post regarding my friend Steve Mulligan. I have shared each response
with Kathy, Steve's wife. She is deeply touched by the outpouring of
compassion.
Attached is a response I made to a good friend, Pat Schark. Pat, I know
you won't mind if I share this with everyone. I hope personal offense is not
taken by what is simply my opinion.
