Ol´ friend, this is way too soon. I will relish the many fond memories wrestling life´s challenges together through OLOL, GC and UMD, our challenging camping trips in hills of WVa with those city folk from Bethesda, uniform revolt of our fair skin during group getaways to beaches on eastern shore, and those weekend card games. I do wish you well, and God speed finding your beloved parents and older brothers in the promised land. Till next time we cross paths!
