I would, very much, like to see the following friends, once again.
We met in Chicago, were friends in the 1970's, but lost track of each other:
Frank Reed+
Phillip Bishop
Paul Plesetz
Jim Hurley+
Nancy McNichols
Paula Pogwidz
Harold Fix
Matthew K McNeelege
Bill Raff (William Raft?)
Steven P Letz
Anyone who knew Richard F Husar
Riccardo Berillo+
Jesse J Springer
Michael Healy+
+After first posting, I learn that Ric Berillo and Jim Hurley returned to God in 1993 and
1994, respectively: Frank Reed in 2003, I grieve for their absence. Michael Healy
returned to God in 1991. Again, recently, I learned of the passing of Kenneth J Wissler,
who returned to God on January 22, 2008.
Earlier and in other cities as well:
Duane "Dewey" B Anderson Jr once of San Antonio Texas

Ha’le’val She’Timshol Al Ha’Hoseh Ve’Ali
In time he recognized this loss
As the end of his journey
And returned to Uruk.
Perhaps, he feared,
His people would not share
The sorrow that he knew.
He entered the city and asked a blind man
If he had ever heard the name Enkidu,
And the old man shrugged and shook his head,
Then turned away,
As if to say it is impossible
To keep the names of friends
Whom we have lost.
Gilgamesh said nothing more
to force his sorrow on another.
He looked at the walls
Awed at the heights
His people had achieved
And for a moment -- just a moment --
All that lay behind him
Passed from view.
Gilgamesh
From a translation by Herbert Mason
