Our sincere sympathy in the loss of your brother, and father. Greg and I grew up together - went to school together from kindergarden through high school. We played a lot of sand lot baseball, went to Saturday Cowboy matinees at the Blaine Theater, were in Boy Scouts together, and played High School Football together. I''''''''m sorry to say that I didn''''''''t see Greg much after High School - just drifted apart. I do remember Greg fondly, and wish I had reconnected with him for some reminicing. My loss. Fred Oates class of ''''''''63
