To Don. Sorry to hear of your loss and passing of Lila. You have been a part of my life right back in the 70s at North Tech. Always there with words of encouragement in what ever I did and then later on to be welcomed to your house to meet your lovely wife and share stories of the past and thoughts for the future. What a big hole in your life this will leave but be strong and my thoughts are with you 💛 Rod
