It's with a heavy heart that must inform you that a very close class mate of mine, during junior high school lost his battle with cancer today.  He helped the committee searching  many of you class members that may be reading this.  He was so looking forward to coming to the City in September for the reunion.  But I am sure that he will be watching over us during those days. 

Thank You Bruce for your help.
