just moments ago i recieved a message about a man ive grown to respect more than any man ive ever known.it wasnt a message to me but to everyone,it simply stated,good-bye ya all.as i read this it cut through me like a knife.here was a man id been able to open up to about my times in nam and about my life and he just disappeared.why?all i know is his message was filled with pain,i felt that pain.many a time he gave his own time to address a problem or give me an honest oppinion.he is truely my best friend.its like loosing someone you never got to say good bye to only this is worse,i wasnt there to help him if he needed help,i wasnt there to listen if he needed an ear,i just wasnt there.there arent many i hold in high regard like curt.matter of fact,there isnt any.
curt ,if you ever read this,know in your heart you are family,a family i never had.i miss you sir.i salute you.please curt,come home.
