| Sadly that generation will soon be gone. Here, they seem to pass with little note. I have two friends who served in ww2 and sadly both are in failing health. We had a good Memorial day turn out but it was mostly the 50 and older crowd. The "youngsters" were not well represented. Slàinte, Patch |

| I am greatly saddned to hear of his passing. My people always take note of passing warriors, and I will pass his name on to the next powwow commitee, he and others will be honored at the veterans dance. We try hard to honor ALL who pass! |
