I attended Jay's memorial service this morning to represent ACS, CHAS & CCS. I spent some time with Cecelia, Jay's daughter, who told me that his ahah moment, after his "neurological incident" several months ago, was the sudden realization that he could no longer "learn". I'm sure, knowing Jay for the past 30 years (though many of you knew him even longer), that nothing could have depressed him more or sped his way along faster than not being able to use that wonderful brain to reason, and to verbally batter those who refused to do so.

As you might expect for someone with 19 children, the Young family was somewhat overwhelming in number. They made me feel welcome, though, as you might expect.

Cecelia suggested to me that her mother (Mariann) might appreciate an invitation to Jay's memorial symposium to San Diego. I will work with Neal to see that we can make that happen.
