My sincerest sympathy to Allen's family. Allen and I were very good friends in High School. We shared many adventures together and promised each other to stay in touch, but life happened to each of us and we lost contact soon after graduation. I recently returned to RI and heard of our high schools classes 50th reunion. On a whim I went on the internet to see if I could find Allen. If I found him I would have attended the reunion since I no longer had contact with any if our classmates. I found his address but no phone number. I got busy and lost the chance to contact him before the reunion. I still have a note on my desk reminding me to call. Now I truly regret not calling and feel very sorry. Allen was a great friend and he and his family with be in my thoughts and prayers.
