John was a wonderful, wonderful man and I feel very happy to have known him as well as I did, even though that wasn't all that much. We weren't drinking buddies, and we didn't go out to ball games or anything like that, but he did take my wife and I hilltopping once at the St. Mary's hunt. We worked in the same office for 18 years, and the last time I ever saw him was at Dulles airport, where he would one day board flight 77.

I drew this years ago and I still like to take it out a read it, and remember the man.
