John, LMC Class of 1953, will never be forgotten. I enjoyed working with him when he was a member of the Alumni Board. He served as Alumni Chapter Rep for Upstate SC. His enthusiasm and love for LMC was contagious. Trudie, all of us are holding you and your family close to our hearts!

John was and will always remain a very close friend to be remembered by many, including his comrades of ASA Baumholder. I mourn his passing but will always cherish the precious memories of our shared adventures.
At the next reunion this fall in West Point, NY, his name will be called and the memorial bell with be rung to commemorate John's membership in the Army Security Agency. Prior to the ringing of the bell I will definitely have some comments to share with the group.
Barbara and I had some wonderful trips with Judie and John, highlighted by the 2003 reunion in Colorado and a visit at our daughter's home in Greer, SC.
