Hi Carol,
Happy Birthday from an "old" friend1

Hi Steve,
Last time we saw each other was at your super-special Byer Museum in Evanston. I published an international newsletter on contemporary glass art ,Glass Focus: Your Window to the Glass World, and met Rebecca through that. Thru her I learned about Benjamin. My heart goes out to you and your family. I lost my 29 year old daughter, Erin, in a tragic car accident in Italy. It's been over 25 years. I have a wonderful life yet my heart still aches for her and she's always in my thoughts.My nephew Robert Levin was a friend of
Benjamin's at ETHS. OPRFHS seems very long ago, but we were very fortunate to have had the youths we had. Also, we attended a formal dance together and you took me to the Palmer House afterwards. Enjoy you birthday AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! BEST, BEV LEVIN COPELAND.

My memories of you and all the fun we had in 7th and 8th grade - your beautiful big house and your sweet mom! Hope you had a wonderful day! Bev Levin Copeland

Pat was a sweet girl. I remember her from OPRFHS  when she dated my dear friend Rod Sher, Class of 58, who died last year. Pat lived on Lake St. I believe.

Hi Bill,
I never knew you in high school
But I loved reading your stories and snarky asides! I do remember Dave Gordon and Barry Kipnis, as the Jewish kids were a very small minority and all knew each other from synagogue or youth group.
I was struck by your comments on the loss of your dear wife and the grief and emptiness that follow. Happily my husband of 54 years is still with me, but my second daughter, Erin was also killed in a tragic accident while living in Italy. That was over 22 years ago and it is still unbelievable. It took about five years before I felt some lessening of the despair and sadness I had been carrying. Good luck to u and you have my deepest sympathy. You will rebuild your life and go on to new joys and adventures, but that could take a while. However, your memories of your beloved Carol will remain with you forever.
Best,
Bev Levin Copeland
