Tom,

Two of our classmates and two of my very best friends died within the last eight days. 

 Jack
Burkhardt (aka “The Bulk”) passed away last Sunday, April 17.  He had
open heart surgery in January and never fully recovered.  Jack was
residing in Nashville.  He will be remembered most recently as the guy
who brought Irish Vodka to the class of ’68 tailgates.

 Doug
Lubbers died this morning at about 5 am, at the end of a 13 year fight
with lymphoma.  He was a resident of Allentown, PA, and died in the
Hospital at UPenn in Philly.

 I
have attached a photo of, from left to right, Jack Gilmour, Doug
Lubbers, Jack Burkhardt, and Ken Castrop, all aero grads of the class of
‘68, taken last fall after a round of golf before the Michigan game. (See folder “Photos of the Photogenic” on this blog.)

 May they rest in peace.
