Sorry to lose Milton! We knew each other since first grade and likely kindergarten. F was seated next to G in Miss Parkinson's class at Henry Clay. We shared a table for two and he was a prodigious drawer of ships, mainly ocean liners. I remember getting ill one day in class and unfortunately, may have sunk the entire fleet, as his desk drawer was open and they were stored there. Sorry, Milton! He was the first guy to ask me over to his house. Again, first grade. My mom had no idea of where I was but I was in good company.  While we didn't connect much after grade school other than a passing nod in high school, he was a good guy. It looks like he went on to live a nice life, raised a family, and even served in Vietnam. Thanks for that, Soldier. Safe travels, Milton.

In the 59 years we knew each other, we never clashed and were in agreement on all topics. I will miss reminiscing about our high school memories, bonding over our military camraderie and hearing his voice on our monthly phone conversations. Milt was a thoughtful, loyal and irreplaceable friend.   Jim
