Dennis was in my life from 1974-1979. I remember two things (that I can talk about):
1. Our families were at a Christmas parade in Gatlinburg TN. A float came by with Jesus and Santa on it. My favorite agnostic (Dennis) told me: "There are both your myths together!"
2. He was the encouragement for my beginning to do serious running. In his unique style, he encouraged me by making fun of me! Seriously, I have continued working out to this day (though the knees won't allow running anymore).
Happy birthday, dear friend! I miss you!
Love,
David

BLIND NAVY VETERAN ACCOMPLISHES THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
The Navy has a tradition of helping their own. Elroy day, a former bubble head has an incredible story to tell. He was blinded in a home invasion in North Carolina in 1995. He recently applied for and was accepted into the Purple Heart Service Foundations job training program to teach him how to become an at home call center agent. Against all odds, working with a disability that would stop most everyone else, he graduated. He completed 600 hours of hard training and now he is reaching out to other blind and vision disabled veterans to tell them about the opportunity that he had. He wants other blind veterans to come and join him. You see, he has a dream of opening a blinded veterans call center. Staffed by former members of the US military who are now blind, for what ever reason. You can help with his dream, just spreading the word. If you know of any veteran who is vision disabled, have them contact Elroy Day immediately . They can email him at eday@carolina.rr.com or call Ms. Thompson at 703 835 3531.
And remember, the Navy has a tradition of helping their own.
