"10/25/05: Just read CNN's account of David going out on his last tour of duty with this brothers in arms. So many of the 48th dying earlier, and David takes the torch from them, and then he must pass it onto the next of his brothers. These are the men whom look after and take care of the people of the people of this planet. Truman (or another u.s. president) said he'd far far rather be a purple heart recipient, not a president. You, the ones whom look after planet's people ... you are in life and posthumously the hero's of us all. Thank you so deeply ... as without you, there is nothing."
Cynthia Born of Canada

"Karen--we just found out today (10-4-05) from the JBC alumni newsletter. Our hearts ache for you and for David. I was just thinking about you and David the other day. If you see this, please write me, okay? robert_quiggle@yahoo.com"
