Hi Betty,  I want to thank you for letting us know about your father and I am sorry for your loss.  I knew your Dad well, heck there were only fifty something of us in 1971.  I was neither a close friend or an enemy.  I do know he had close friends like all of us, but today I really whish I had reached out more to him.  I haven't heard anything about him since I left Winnie in 1973.  I am happy to hear he was married and has a family.  A good family one who cares enough to let his old classmates know of his passing. 

Your notification about your dad, was one of the first email's I read today.  I was and am very touched by it.  Since I read it, I have been crying uncontrollably.  I think it is because I realize I could have been a better friend or even just a little bit nicer to him.  I don't know why it takes some of us a lifetime to learn how to act? 

Thank you very much for your note.  It has touched something very deep inside of me.  I will keep your family in my prayers.

Sincerely,

 

Sam Braun
