060931 -        received on 090220 2247. ref SDS 3 D95N].  He was always a hero
060932 -        to me for his great talent and strong character.  In war and
060933 -        peace, at work or retired, your dad pursued excellence, setting
060934 -        an example for all to build a better world.  Duty, honor,
060935 -        country was his profession.  Family was his heart.

060957 -    3.  The beautifully written family history that Uncle Jim authored
060958 -        sets a powerful marker that extends his legacy.  In our, too
060959 -        few, discussions the past 10 years, I loved Uncle Jim's calm
060960 -        insights, always adding critical nuance to a larger vision.

060963 -    4.  Millie and I visited seems like 6 months ago but possibly
060964 -        longer.  Aunt Barbara was resting when we arrived; yet, she
060965 -        joined in with lively and engaging discussion.  Seemed like a
060966 -        usual visit, with Uncle Jim offering poignant commentary about
060967 -        events of the day.  Your mom asked about family, and filled us
060968 -        in on things with you and Jimmy.
060970 -         ..
060971 -    5.  Your dad of course will be missed, but never forgotten.  A good
060972 -        man who led a good life.  The nation is blessed for his
060973 -        service, as our family mourns personal loss.  Uncle Jim is
060974 -        smiling now to see another generation taking up his post.
