Buck certainly had a twinkle in his eye and a ready smile. So glad we were able to spend so much time with Buck and Sally, often at their house on the hill. What an adventure and so many memories! Thanks, Buck, for your service in WWII and OSU. Go Bucks! Who would have guessed we would all have found our way to northern Nevada from Ohio? You are missed, Buck.
