He hasn't practiced in a long time. (His wife is in active practice). That doesn't make you forget. He keeps up. You bet I listen to every word he has to say about medical issues.

If I had wish for today it would be that you and John make peace. I know both of you reasonably well and it seems senseless. There is nothing that can't be left behind. Our time on this planet really is too short.
