Sandy & Family, I was so sad to read that COL Houston passed away. I worked with him in the DENTAC at Fort Carson probably 35 years ago. He was such a nice man and Sandy, you and Jim were the Ken & Barbie of the DENTAC: such a lovely and beautiful couple! COL Houston also pulled my wisdom teeth out when he had his private practice in COS. I will keep many memories of Jim and his sweet, sweet family.
