You were the best my friend! Than for helping me get into the Air Force and making a success out of my life. I'll miss those Kool cigarettes we smoked while working for the Wichita Eagle. I visited you shortly after you passed. I'm sorry we never connected since 1991. Love you much my friend. John C.
