Rita, we of course are going to miss seeing Bruce in Little Rock and Maine. Bruce and I were friends for so long that even though we might not have seen each other for a year or more we would start a conversation like it was only yesterday since we had seen each other. His loss will leave a whole in our lives. We love you. Henry and Dana
