Lance and Dirk- I was so sorry to hear about your loss of your Dad. Reading about him in the paper brought back some great memories of the time I spent with you and him both in Buffalo and in Canada. He was one of those Dads that we could really enjoy, always...well almost always....with a smile on his face. I hope to see you both soon. Best wishes, Bill
