Condolences on the death of your father. Are you the same Bob Artoe who attended University of Washington, 1957-9, Sigma Chi fraternity? I would like to hear from you, if you remember Richard Vosburgh. (I was dating Gretchen Christopher, who appeared on TV's KING's CAMERA, at the time, and went on to earn Gold Records as The Fleetwoods).

Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
