With regrets I will miss my 14th year in a row of DSC convention. How I have grown to enjoy it and meet AR friends both old and new.
He was a naval aviator at the end of WWII. My father-in-law passed away yesterday and there is work to be done.

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Frank BellerCherie’s Dad was a very kind, gentle man that Joyce & I grew to love just like our own dad. He was one of the smartest men that I have ever met, and I mourn his loss. I loved spending time with him, and we will miss him greatly. God bless you, Dad, from Joyce & Frank.
