Jeffrey,
My father had 2 favorite sayings about friendship. I am pleased that you liked the first. The second was "The
friend you lost, you never had."
If you get to the D.C. area and have enough time, I would love to visit with you and catch up with what is
happening in your complicated life.
Jerry

Jeffrey,
The above quote was repeated to me by you one early morning when you came to my office in Ohio to ask if
you could do anything to help me after an unfortunate loss in Federal court. This act of kindness is my
greatest insight into your true character, which as a defense, you hide so well.
Over the years, I have had some special relationships of friendship. Oscar Wilde said "Friendship is love
without wings." In each of these relationships, whether they be a bubbe or a mensch, they, like you, wanted
their goodness to be private. Anticipating your anniversary of today, I have thought a lot about the
magnificent, unique person you are and I have concluded that of all my friends, you are the only one that
will, in my mind, be forever young - happy birthday.
Jeffrey, my birthday wish to you is that you continue to do sufficient, outrageous things to satisfy that need
inside, but not so many as to diminish the good work you are doing in your foundation. If that balance can
be kept, I believe you will have a long and happy life.
Your friend, Jeny
