Pete,

Along with others, I send my condolences to you on the loss of your friend.

I'm sure all of us are available for whatever you need us for.

"Oh! I have slipped the surely bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds... and soared and swung [h]igh in the sunlight silence. And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod...The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God."
