In Memoriam

[Grace]

I would like to mention a good friend of my husbands. We all went to high school together and they were in Boyscouts together when they were younger.

Don Kaspar, a Boy Scout leader, remembers meeting Airman 1st Class Eric M. Barnes as a 15-year old.

Barnes, 20, of Lorain, Ohio, was killed June 10 by a bomb about 100 miles south of Baghdad. He was on his second tour and was assigned to F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo.

June 10, 2007.

Thank you.
