Dr. Delarue and I were classmates at Cornell, slogging through the rigors of graduate Greek. Sometimes I think it took a Marine like him to teach us what it means to survive! Our condolences to Anita and the girls.

Hope that those in the afterlife are ready for some heated debates with Earl! Will never forget when Earl fell in the pool at one of the Dept parties - the look on his face was priceless. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Kathleen and Eileen. Love, Donna, Steve and Carla Thomas
