Bruce and I listened to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel, especially Sounds of Silence. Rock star wannabes. The Man From Uncle was a favorite television series during our younger years.

A great friend for many years, smart, funny, great pal! We drifted apart and I had many intentions of getting together again, do some cruising. Just the past week I told my wife that I need to go catch up with Bruce. Don't waste another day, call or go by to see the folks that have been so great to get to know. Missing you! Scott
