***** To George and Thelma Berger...Loran will never be forgotten. He was young, vibrant, and paid the ultimate sacrifice a mere few months after arriving in Viet Nam. He was in my graduating class at Reno High, and I was privileged to have known him, and to know both of you from my banking days, and camp-outs at Lahontan. Thinking of you often.......Carol
