43 years Dave and I were friends. Camped. Fished. Hiked. Drank some. Told stories, some true. Listened to John Denver records then had a bit more wine. Vietnam was a chapter for us both. We were going to have sushi on Nov. 23rd. That will have to wait. You are missed my friend and your family has my most sincere sympathy. God keep you and bless Keiko with the strength to go forward. Until then. Jim & Val
