Our hearts go out to Dorene and all the family. I will make a wish on a dandelion (the official flower of the military child) today in memory of all the fun we had as members of the Fort Sheridan Army Brats teen club, and we will open the wine Jerry gave us bottled by FC in Highwood. One of the good guys...gone but not forgotten. A toast to a life well lived!
