Glenn,
I was sorry to hear about your father´s passing. It appears your father lived a full and good life and was a true model of the "Greatest Generation." I often think about you when I head out to Vegas. I hope all is well for you and you find comfort and solace at this time of great sorrow.
Take care,
Dan Cuddy
