More detail on this person: Nita Rooney just called me from Nashville, TN. Her husband Dave died yesterday of pancreatic cancer. We went through flight school together and were hootch mates in Nam. I'm still too shocked to talk about it right now. He was a good man, and one of the best friends I ever had. God rest his soul.

Nita said he had known for about six months, but wouldn't tell me because he didn't want to upset me. I sure wish he had told me so we could have gotten

together one last time.
