BethAnn, we extend our thoughts and prayers on behalf of your Dad. May he rest in peace. Condolences, too, to your Mom and your extended family. You and Doug have defined for all of us how to care for parents, loved ones. How wonderful that your Dad had such support as he transitioned.

I was Chris's First Sergeant when he was in the army in 1950-1952 and I considered him a good friend also. His close friends included Ray Zeek, Walt Lee, Bernie Callahan, Russ Geary and Harry Schomburg. He survived them all....good job Chris. RIP.
