Just learned of the death of classmate Leon Kent, whom we had lost track of. Leon was a highly decorated war hero because of his performance in the Battle of the Bulge.


Irv Sager is still performing well. Spoke to Ed Reich, who says he is still enjoying life.


Thanks to all of you who write and email me. You are the ones who keep me going. As for myself, I am hoping to see the day when leaders will appear who will stand up for all of us. The day will come when we will not devote our efforts to destroying leadership. I keep thinking, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Unfortunately, it is broke beyond repair. As I keep saying, we burden our children with debt for an education they cannot afford. We burden them with the costs of unnecessary wars that are not of their choosing. Ours is the gutless generation that passes on the responsibility for our actions. We allow our elected officials to depend on outside money to get elected and stay in office. This is bribery. I am confident that this country will produce the leadership that is needed.


Let us hear from you. Vox clamantis in deserto.
