Earlier today

Very sad to learn of Kris´s passing. We grew up together in Van Buren. After we finished our military service which included tours of duty in Vietnam we reconnected in VB. Kris had moved to Indy and suggested that I move there to attend IUPUI so I did. We shared an apartment for a couple of years. That was a very positive change in my life and I have always been very grateful to Kris for getting me on the right track in life.
