  2. My condolences to Cynthia’s family at this time. I worked with her at EPH at Yale. I see she will be at the Whitneyville cemetery with my family. I love that spot and watered the bushes we put there in the corners of our plot when I was a kid walking home from Putnam Avenue grammar school. I now live in Nashville, TN near my son Richard and his family. I miss CT. All my best wishes to you, Louis, and your family. Lynette Jordan (Strauss)
