We're a widely-distributed but close-knit group with over 3,000 members. Yesterday two of our members, one from Michigan and one from Florida visited Doug in Texas. They and their wives all went to a restaurant for supper. As they were driving back to Doug's house he suffered a massive heart attack, and is in the hospital as I type this. Our prayers are with Doug and his family. Art

I hope he gets straightened up real soon.

Doug went ashore for the last time last night. He will be interred in the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery in Vermont. Final arrangements will be announced when they are ready. Sailor, rest your oars. Art

Doug called me one night before he moved to Texas and we had a nice talk. He came back to Vermont a few months ago, but was rushed to return to Texas so we didn't make contact. There are a number of burials scheduled at the Vermont Veterans Cemetery in Randolph in late May. Maybe Doug will be among those. A good friend of mine, with whom I served in both the Vermont Army National Guard and the Vermont State Guard, will also be buried there late this month. I hope to be able to attend some of those ceremonies in my VSG capacity. Art, is there any chance you might make it to Randolph for Doug's burial? If so, we might be able to meet up there if I can make it too. Ron

I'll miss his presence around here for sure. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
