To Art's family: I remember Art as a bright, good looking and friendly cadet whom I enjoyed knowing. It is so difficult to realize that Art and his family was so close (Fairfax) and I never knew he was there. I have a daughter in Norther Va who I visit reguraly and would have enjoyed seeing the wonerful man I once knew. Please accept my deepest condolences and if possible I will be at the Arlington ceremony. My prayers are with all of the family. His classmate, Ron Baldwin.
