      Jerry,

      I am John Pollock, Craig’s older brother. I believe we met in Atlanta at Craig’s memorial service in 1972.

      The sister who visited you in Vail might be either Mary, five years younger than Craig, or more likely, Amy, who is about 11 years younger than Craig.

      Don’t hesitate to write me at pollock@tcnj.edu.

      Thanks for being such a good friend to my beloved brother,

      John
