Hilton's classmates in the Leon High School Class of 1960 wish that we could have been with him more in recent years. He joined us at a class lunch a couple of years ago, and we hoped he could return to visit with us more often. We take pride in his accomplishments and his service to our country. My deepest sympathy to his family.
