Well. my friend, it was a 43 year friendship/relationship with its ups and downs, its laughter and tears. I know that you are somewhere climbing in your beloved mountains. I am glad we were in Sedona last year and that you were the first person I saw the Grand Canyon with. I will reember our intellectual jousting, our shared liberal ideas, our mutual anger at the state of the country. Be at peace my friend. Sharon

To Bud's Family:
Bud and I served together in the Staff Judge Advocate's Office at Ft. Bliss, TX. My daughter, Brenda, and Susan were the same age and good friends. Bud and I stayed in touch, and he visited me in Phoenix about a month before his death. We were looking forward to a reunion of our JAG buddies in El Paso in June, 2006. He was a good friend and will be missed by all of his JAG compatriots. We will toast him at the reunion.

Bud,
Thank you so much for teaching me the courage, wisdom and love over the years. You are the greatest teacher in my life.
You will always be remembered as a man in arena:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up...
