Fifteen/twenty years ago, Cord stopped in the gallery to see if we'd advertise in North Star. And not to long ago he called to see how we were all doing. He always went the extra mile to stay in touch. We think of him often. All of us here at the gallery loved him dearly and will miss him very much.
