Saddened to hear of the passing of two of my close friends from those early Fayetteville years--- Dave Milan and Tom Ross. Two really good guys. Dave lived up the hill from us on Oakwood and we played a lot of football together in his side yard along with Larry Shipps and other neighborhood kids. Larry's house had the flat driveway across the street, perfect for a lot of basketball too. It was only a year or so ago in one of Dave's emails to me that I found out that we were at MSU together back in the 60's. Tom lived behind us on the other side of a small woods. He, Larry and I would hang out together before we could drive, building go carts, motor bikes, and had a few money-making schemes. Way too early to lose both friends.
