I’m so very sorry to hear this news. Dick and I got on so very well
from the first time we met at Skip Pratt’s Hamvention cookout and
for the years thereafter. We had known each other for some number of
visits before we discovered that we shared the same birthday -
August 25th - and thereafter took great delight in wishing each
other Happy Birthday whenever we first met each year, usually at
Smokey Bones in Dayton on what became a traditional Thursday evening
pre-Hamvention dinner. I was pleased to meet Kevin subsequently at
Yellow Springs / Xenia.<font size="4"> </font><font size="4"><br>
