I was very sorry to learn of Bobby's death. I went to DHS with both Bobby and Janice. He was the jester. She was the beauty queen. Sorry they are both gone.

Out of contact since gradulation and so goegraphically close to me. I am deeply saddened by Bobby's death. I remember him in the halls of the old medical school and the old lecture rooms. I was always impressed by his rationality of thought and committment to doing the right thing. We frequently do not know who will brand our lives for the long travel home.
