Hi Cal
I am very happy to have been a friend of yours for many years. I am very glad that we got to spend some time at our 55th High School reunion. We really had some great times growing up, basically across the field, and in grade school and High school. You in the Navy and I in the Air Force.
You went back home and I stayed in Arizona. God bless and keep you forever in his presence.
Rest in peace my friend and we shall meet again some day.
Your friend always,
Roger Dickner
Peoria Arizona.
