    Kim, Kerry and Michael

    Wow…I guess all our parents are getting older. Hank was a year younger than my Dad, Frank….I remember one time running out of gas up the road from your house. I walked to your house to get gas….I tried to pay for it but he wouldn’t take any money. I knew Kim since she was a year older than I…and was easily entertained by my quick wit and humor. I think Michael J. Pein(as I remember was in my sister Robin’s class and she always included the middle initial when she talked about him. I am not sure if Kerry was in my older brother Dirk’s class of 75 or maybe the year before….. Kim…where in Canada do you live. I have traveled Canada a lot for business…..great place… Anyway..sorry to hear about this… Take care… Brett Lincoln
