Hey Lawrence..... Here's wishing you and your family a blessed Easter and you, my friend, a very happy birthday. I noticed that your profile has been the same for a little over a decade. Any updates we all should know about? I'm going to drive down and drop in for a visit just as soon as these atmospheric rivers stop coming our way.
Be good,
Parry

Have a good one, Mike!... I too was at Ft. Sill Artillery school followed by a stint at Fort Ord. Fort Sill was the only place I have ever lived where snow and dusty dirt blew at the same time.(mostly right threw the BOQ walls).

Happy B Day Lawrence. I hope this note finds you in good health. I know the rains we are all experiencing are exactly what you do not need in Linden. I pray that you and your family will all be safe. Good wishes to you my friend.

It was a Sutter Medical Group doctor that saved my life last year and put me on a total life style regimen  that has gotten me to the healthy state that I am in today. Thank you Ron for creating that group and being the careing person that you were.
