im sorry to hear about your husband ,,hope you doing ok
I met John in 1970 at SUNY Delhi. We were both avid engineering students, and, at the time, recent Vietnam veterans. But above that, we became fast friends. And once, we even contemplated going to Africa together, to fight, for one year, as mercenaries. But that didn't happen, and after school, our lives drifted apart. I saw John a little over a year ago, for the first time in decades. I'm so glad I got to spend some time with him; we drank a few beers. My deepest sympathies...Mike Sivilli

May John rest in peace and enjoying Frankie's good cooking up in heaven. Peace, Mary Jeanniton
