Due to the passing of my brother-in-law I am postponing my final A to Z evaluation post until Wednesday June 1st.
In Memory of Jack Katon
August 24, 1944 - May 25, 2011
Served our country in Viet Nam from 1966 to 1969
My brother-in-law and my dear friend. We had some fun times and some great conversations. I'm going to miss you buddy.
+++++++++
Jack and I both enjoyed music. A favorite artist for both of us was Frank Sinatra. In closing, here's one of Jack's favorite Sinatra tunes, "One For My Baby, And One More For The Road"--it seems like kind of an appropriate song.
