Anita Fabos recently sent me a new email containing contact information for a few more of mom's friends, including James Martone, who I had wanted to contact because his was a name I recognized. Before I had the chance to contact him, however, he contacted me.
In an email, James said: "I loved your mother, and met her at a crossroads in my life, where she was kind and gentle and helped me through it. I met your mother through Roxanne, whom you know, I'm sure. Your mother loved Roxanne, and my friendship with your mother was mostly an extension of this. I can't remember the last time I saw her, but probably around 97, 98..."
and
“I am sad I never reconnected, but perhaps I have in a way, via you.”
James and I have exchanged a number of emails since the one quoted above. We have yet to talk on the phone, but we have plans to get together when I am next in Washington, DC.
