Dear Phil, although we have not spoken in many years I remember well some of our times together in our youth. Cutting some classes to grab a beer and at the lake on your boat. Hearing of your dad's passing reminds me of how old we are getting. I hope to get to FTW for the reunion next month, if I do I'll give you and Mel a call. If not then later in the summer as I retired last week and will spend some time back in the states to catch up. I've been living overseas for the last ten years and will move back to Bolivia September. Best wishes amigo.
