Rick, my friend. Posted on 5/5/08 - by Gerald B Saylor gbsaylor@hotmail.com. For twelve years we attended school together going our separate ways to college. Playing, double dating, hanging out were just a few of the things we shared. Though listed as missing, you have been a piece of my heart since 2/5/70. You disappeared only seventeen days before my ETS. It has been painful for me and I miss you as much today as I did then. I've been in touch with Jaunita. She loves you as much today as in high school
