Dear Dick: For some time I have wanted to do something to perpetuate Joe's memory among his immediate family and his close friends. I thought, perhaps, of getting together some essays, written by those who knew him well, which together with photographs could be placed in book for. It would be primarily as a gift for my mother and father and for anyone else who wished it. As I know you were always a great friend of Joe's and that he held you in very high regard, I was wondering if you would care to help out by writing one. I would suggest that the essay could be any length up to five hundred words and that perhaps you could include in this what to you was Joe's outstanding characteristic and perhaps an anecdote illustrating this on some other side of his character. Nothing is being said to my father or mother, as I should like to see it all together and finished before they are told about it. Warmest regards. Very sincerely, [signed] Jack. [autograph postscript] If you have any ideas on this give me a call Best Jack Did [illegible] come through?" These essays on Joe including one by Flood would later become We Remember Joe. John F.
