As you may have heard, my brother Jim lost his house in the Santa Barbara wildfire on Wednesday night. This home, which he had built himself, was an extension of his creative spirit so the loss has been especially sad. Thank you to everyone who has sent messages of support and encouragement. They have been greatly appreciated during a difficult time for the Winter family.
Barbara-

I send my blessings to your brother and his family. I am sorry to hear of his loss.
