Pete.... My deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. you probably don't remember me but you and my brother, Bob Szustowski, were friends back in High School and my family & I knew you thru him. We lived on 54th St. near Albany and I recall you living around 53rd St off of Kedzie. I remember the last time I saw you, you had just gotten back from Viet Nam. So very long ago. Bob passed away 11 yrs ago from Cancer as well as my parents years before Bob. Pete, I hope you are doing well in spite of your loss. Take Care.
