Good and Bad News
 
After a very hard battle with lung cancer, my brother in NC died in his sleep, at
home, last night. Forty years of smoking and/or three plus tours in Vietnam with
Agent Orange took their toll.

He will be buried in Arlington cemetery this spring. Although not a retiree, he
earned the Silver Star in Vietnam, so he's well deserving of the honor.

Losing a brother is sad, but it's also a relief that the fight is over. It wasn't
winnable, and his wife was having a very hard time trying to care for him at home.

Condolences John. I lost my younger brother almost 10 years ago and
still think about him.
