Memories & Candles

I'm so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I have such wonderful memories of the many times our "Breakfast Club" (Pat and Jay, Dick and Sue Abel, Ann Greenzweig, and myself)met at the Village Inn. We had many wonderful holiday celebrations with Jay and Pat. Dick and Jay used to play Scrabble several times a week and I occasionally joined them on the weekend. I don't think I ever beat Jay. He knew every 2 letter word in the dictionary
