Dear Charles. I am Chuck Kirin. I always considered Tom my Army buddy. In fact during the Battle of the Bulge . . . He said, Chuck if we get out of this, we're going to drink that last bottle of wine. Please if you have time send me some info about his last days. I don't write a newsletter any more. Nobody to send one to

My email address is: [email protected]

Thank you. Did your dad call you Chuck?

To Thomas' family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, may that comfort you at this difficult time.
