          Also, word has come to us that Robert Johnson passed away on October 5, 2002.

          Bob Dimmitt has informed me that Buren "Dete" Detour passed away on May 6.  I have no details of the cause of death.  Although Dete was not able to join us for the last few reunions, he has been and will continue to be missed.

          We extend our condolences to all who have lost loved ones.  Our ranks are depleting, but, it is a fact of life we are forced to live with... Please let us know of any losses you know of, so we can keep our friends informed.
