Dear Burton, We attended St. John's High School with you way back. Our deepest sympathies in the passing of your dear Mother, Rhoda. What a wonderful lady to overcome such obstacles and be such an inspiring role model to her talented, grateful son. Your remembrance touched our hearts. We know she was so very proud of all your accomplishments and the fine person you have become. Cherish the memories. Sincerely, Bernie(the Usher-Trial by Jury) and Dianne

Thank you Berton for your Mom's Eulogy. She would be very proud of you. I was looking forward to this closure. You and I were in the same class together at St. John's. I was there when Mrs. Davidow discovered you were writing one of your songs again, instead of observing her analysis of some kind of grammatical understanding in an English Class. Her discovery upon inspecting your latest song, and her reaction, "That will get you nowhere!",even insulted me, knowing the musical genius you were back then, let alone your inspiring theatrical performance in HMS Pinafore, I just knew, that eventually she would eat those words. Your Mother was right, as most Mothers are. Thank God you pursued your talent and made it happen. Mrs. Davidow by the way, would have given you an "A+" for your Mom's Eulogy. Thank You!! John Plischke
