My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of your father and my cousin. Bill led a full and rich life, He was as long as I can remember passionate about life and learning. I especially remember how much he loved classical music and not only the music but the musicians who he befriended as well. May his memory be for a blessing.

My condolences to Mr. Pollack's family members. I had the distinct honor to work at the Le Mound School in Wrigleyville while he was the building principal. He was a consummate professional and he was instrumental in promoting the CPS Career Development program.. He was an inspiration to those educators that worked with him. He made a definite impact on public school education. Dr. Ray Kandelman, Ed. D.
