Hi Doug,
  Almost as old as you? I thought you served in WWI, L.B. tells me his
father served in WWI.
  It was another dark day for America & Israel as more of their sons gave
their lives so that others may live in peace & prosperity. Again I lowered
my flag to half mast, seems like a regular occurrence in the last year & a
½. My heart pains for the surviving family & friends.
   Paul
