Re: Andys Funeral

Thanks to you guys that were able to attend. I reconnected with Andy at the St.Louis reunion.We met the first time in Qui Nhon in 66 but it was as if that 40 year gap did not exist.Andy made me feel welcome even though that was my first reunion and we hadn"t seen each in those 40 years.I will miss him.
