If you plannned on calling a Vet friend today PLEASE do it!!
Yesterday I was to call a friend but got caught up in my care taking duties so
I decided to put it off until this morning. While I went to get the paper this AM
his son called and told me he had passed away quietly last night after supper.
For the record he was Alvin Shofner of Lonedell, MO who had served his country
with the 507th PIR Regt. of the 17th AB Div. in WW II.
This is the type thing I was talking about with the disappearing Vets.
RIP my friend
