We went to Alaska together and then to CNAC together. He was surprised when I left. I told him I had a dream that he would die in China and it was the only such dream I had. Christy or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
