Dick, Sorry to hear of your loss. There are not too many of our generation still around. I now live in West Elmira with my 3rd wife having moved back here from Maryland in the 80s. I recall seeing you at one of our high school reunions years ago. I hope that you are doing well. George "Sonny" Farr.
