Hello, friends. I will start off this column by saying that I purposefully did not include the updates that I have received this go-around. I have checked with the parties involved and have received their blessing to save them for the next issue. Please continue to send more exciting news as I hope to have a lot to report by then.


The reason that I decided to hold our class news was to dedicate this column to one of our classmates and friends, Russell “Rusty” Cheney. Rusty was taken from this world in a tragic plane crash on April 10 near Challis, Idaho. He is survived by his wife, Anna, and children Frank and Jesse. Please visit https://rustycheney.wordpress.com to share memories of Rusty and learn of the celebrations planned to remember his life. Please visit DAM online to read the amazing words of remembrance written by Anna. I would love to hear from those who knew Rusty and continue to write about him in future columns. Live life to the fullest everyone. No regrets.
