 From Jess's son, by way of Len Zola of the Media Gang:

Jess has now become a resident of an Assisted Liiving facility in 
Cambridge called Chilton House.  His son, Jesse, III, has asked me to 
pass along to our Gang members that he has advanced bone 
cancer.  Jess can talk and feed himself "somewhat", but cannot 
walk.  He still has that magnificent sense of humor.  Much of the 
time, though, he sleeps.  He is relatively comfortable because of 
pain medications.

Jesse (Jess told me once he prefers to call him Jed) asks that those 
of us who know Jess feel free to phone him, though it would be wise 
to try to keep the call relatively short.  His phone there is 617-876-5177.

If you prefer to drop him a note or card,
the address is 65 Chilton Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.
