Fred and I are about same age. I met Fred at Westinghouse when we were both technicians. We both graduated from McCoy College of JHU with a BS Engineering. After our retirement, we lived closed by, me in New Windsor, MD and he near Hanover, PA . He came to visit one time and I wanted much to visit him at his home. Now the opportunity is gone. I will miss him.
