Benny, I was reading some of the old postings on here, and all the things that everyone said are true. There are things I'll never forget about you: The 18-hour drive we took back from St. Louis at the end of Christmas leave through a snowstorm most of the way in that tiny (to you) car...500th Night at Bear Mountain...NYC Trips to Smith's Pub...the Christmas Party at your parents' place. In some ways they seemed a long time ago, but in most, I can see them clearly as if they happened yesterday. Your sense of humor and absolute inability to take anything seriously were only two of the many things that endeared you to me, and that made you who you were. I miss you, and hope all is well.
