Alice and Ivan were such great friends of my parents. They enjoyed dancing at the Eagles and fishing together. Each had a wonderful sense of humor. Certainly they enjoyed life. Our deepest sympathies to your families.

To all of the Rathbun family in the recent loss of your loved one, Alice. You have my sincere and deepest sympathy as you write the final chapter of Ivan and Alice. I was Ivan’s immediate supervisor at the Planning and Design Department of the University, for the last several years before he retired. My prayers are with all of you.
with kindest sympathy and regards,
