Ross was my brother-in-law for 20 years. I have asked his children to give me information that I can post in his memory. Ron Owens, '61

At age 12 or so Ross was a chubby young lad, but then disappeared from school. When he returned he was as thin as a rail and had Type 1 diabetes. He was my friend and a very nice and interesting young man. Ric
