Last Known Activity Tolly Prather tprather3@verizon.net Served Together 110 Whitsons Run Stafford Virginia 22554 USA Long Overdue Jim It has been 38 years and I have not forgotten that day, or you. The day before, myself, you, Joe and Delarenzo were playing hearts on the side of a hill in the Arizona. At sunset the 12th of August 1969, I alone remained. I know not why? Not a day goes by that I do not remember and think of you three, lost all within a span of thirty minutes. As you know, I was near you when you fell. Doc tried so hard to save you, but the almighty wanted you with him. I will always remember you, Joe and Delarenzo. I picture you three sitting on the side of hill in a more pleasent setting playing hearts with a stand-in, until that day comes when I can join you to finish that game we played on the side of the hill in the Arizona. My god keep you in the palm of his hand forever. Sunshine
