[O'Neal, Kevin W.] Derick, I'm deeply saddened by this post. It
sounds like your brother was a large part of your life, and you shared much.
Strangely enough, I've been thinking about you as of late. I read a
post of yours on another list and thought I sensed a bit of terseness
(nothing big mind you) usually only seen in my posts ;-) . Later that day
(I think just yesterday or the day before) I thought to myself that there
must be something going on in your life that is upsetting. The death of a
brother, good friend, and close fellow Who Fan/introducer/teacher would
definitely qualify.
My deepest sympathies to you.
Schrade in Akron....I've been meaning to write this for a while, but
keep forgetting. Very sorry to hear about your Uncle. I hope you have
grand memories to hold onto.
Hang in there Brothers, time will heal. The spirit of lost loved
ones lives on in your memories.
Kevin in VT.
