Mike, Mark, All -
I was saddened to read about your mother's death in Sunday's paper, but found myself smiling anyway as I remembered the time we spent togather as kids. It's been almost fifty years since I saw you and her, but the memories are still fresh. There was a lot more leeway in the Jacobs household than in the Brandes one, to either succeed or fail. None of my other freinds' parents allowed the kids to use power tools that we could barely lift, to build boats in the barn!
I've wondered from time to time about what path you chose in life. If you are interested in getting together after the pandemic eases, please contact me at jim.brandes@cohu.com.
I hope that your fond memories of your mom are already making you smile, too. If not yet, then soon.
