Al Rubenacker....though I hadn't seen him since East Leyden, it seems strange that old friends my age are passing away. I have to admit, sometimes I feel a bit of melancholy at this Fall/Winter stage of our lives. All is good, I'm healthy and active.Nothing is really wrong. Hard to put into words. I wish everyone a blessed Thanksgiving.

Yes, the sands of time are running out for a lot of us. When those we know start leaving us, makes us realize that we are just visitors here on earth, just passing through. We must enjoy each day, no matter what, and look for the good in all things. Thanksgiving greetings to all. P S: Does anyone know the where abouts of Todd Hill? We went through Basic Training together and have lost touch. Any help??
