Saddened to learn of your passing, Preston. My good friend, though we lost touch a few years back. Guitar player, Grateful Dead fan, target shooting on a lazy Sunday summer afternoon in the mountains...

I am so sorry to hearing of Preston's passing. He took me riding all over Watsonville on his brand new Honda 350 and to the prom in 1970 (my first kiss!). I remember your Dad as one of my favorite library patrons (I worked there all through high school)and your Mom, of course, from St Patrick's.
Many dear memories.
I will keep you all in my prayers.
