Wayne, just thinking about you the other day, and all the fun we had running around before Nam. Was thinking about the last time I saw you. It was when you stopped by Fort Knox to see me, before you went back to Nam. I finally found your gravesite, thanks to Charlie Snyder. Just to let ya know, you are still remembered.
