The Kids of Fassbinder Neighborhood

So sorry for your loss. I was a friend in high school and saw him last when I ran into him one evening out in Denver. He was a terrific skier, I had a hard time keeping up back in the day.

Marty - Say hi to Bill and Bob and know that your service to those struggling mattered! I will keep you in my heart as I continue to trudge the road to happy destiny. And I´ll keep an eye on your Mom.
