Hard to find the words.. We didn't know each other in Rochberg but met in the dorms at UofM and developed a good friendship that continued well beyond graduation. Bought a sailboat together and enjoyed several seasons on Minnetonka and Mille Lacs. Reuniting and catching up with Randy and so many at the 50th was fantastic and looked forward to seeing him and 'all y'all' in the coming years. I am saddened to have not connected again since the reunion.
Thanks Randy for the adventures, the after dinner/pre study social hours in the dorm sketching and talking... will always be remembered and treasured.
