[wagnergp2]

Hello. I am very saddened to learn also of the passing of Don Blakeslee, a true friend of mine, and one I will miss so dearly. I visited with him late last year and we had such a great time. I have not found an obituary in our paper the "Miami Herald" which would be where it would be posted. I do know that his ashes will be interred at Arlington National Cemetary sometime in October. I will try to keep all posted.
