Allen,

Noticed in June, that Don Lanphere's BD [06/26] is listed.
I figured to make this correction here, as this is the current BD thread

He passed away, for certain, if I remember correctly earlier this year.

I'll bet that those in the Pacific NW will know...

[Mike Schwartz]

Also...Bill Perkins didn't quite make his 80th this month [22nd], passed away April this year.


Aren't I the bearer of sad news....

[Mike Schwartz]
