Hi Doug,
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I still remember the trip I made with you and your father and mother up to USM for orientation. It was a fun day. I rode back with them while you stayed on campus. It was a very nice trip spending time with them and getting to know them a little. They were wonderful people. God Bless. Your friend John Barber
