Girls it saddens me to hear of the passing of your dad and my cousin Ron.
You may not know this, your dad, Marv Sakowski,and I joined the Navy Together, were in the same boot camp company. When it came time for the swim test, I would fail the test and be kicked out of the Navy. Your dad saved me by taking the test for me. I will never forget that.
