News About Chad Merrill ::

I just got this from Buster a few minutes ago:

Just received a note that Chad Merrill has colon cancer. He is in our thoughts and prayers.

My best wishes go out to Chad and his family also!

Some News From Buster ::

I got this earlier today:

Ran into Buster Rush this am and he really  makes me envious. He  has maintained his same high school weight and all of his hair-w/ no grey. He and his wife now live in Wilmington.
  He asked about the next reunion and wanted to know how could help Jerry and Jim w/ the plans.
  It always is good to see former classmates.
  One note - the class of '63 just had their 50th reunion -which is only the 2nd one they have held- and Pecan, Otis and I bumped into Butch Lilly and he said that they had lost 36 out of their class.  B.

I followed up asking how Butch was doing and Buster told me he ran into Butch at the hospital where his brother-in-law is battling terminal cancer.

Just Got Some Sad News From Buster ::

This note is to inform you that Otis Bowers lost his son this am to cancer. Chris was married  to a Haseldon who is kin to Carol. Chris was around 32 years old. Otis's home address is 1907 Brook Dr.  B.

Our thoughts are with Otis and his family at this very sad time!

Getting Ready To Head Out To Camden ::

Unfortunately, my brother passed away early this past Thursday morning. I'll be heading out for Camden in a few minutes for his memorial service which is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon:
