Hello All,
Great turn out today. The more the better. 18 guys today.
For the past three months Dave Tyree who has been digging into finding classmates who we have lost track of with success. However, in his efforts today Dave advised us of some sad news. The passing of one of our guys this past fall, Bob Sanders’ wife visited with Dave and told him that Bob had been dealing with dementia for some time. Also, Dave spoke with Tom Winterhalter and Tom has been dealing with some very serious health issues for several years and will undergo heart surgery next week. Please keep these fellows and their families in your prayers.. Thank you Dave for the persistence in trying to locate guys from our class.
Classmate Jim Hudak brought in some copies of his recent book—I asked Jim how he thinks up the science fiction used for his book and he just said it comes to him often. In the days of micro chips and AI Jim has a science fiction thriller—BLOOD AND BRILLIANCE. THANK YOU JIM
