I was very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Known to me as "Turk", he was one of the nicest guys I've ever worked with. I never once saw him get his feathers ruffled over anything, when a lot of the rest of us were griping over some small problem. He always had a nice word for everybody, and I was very glad to run into him this last summer, and we had very warm chatter with each other, at the luncheon and also before and after in the parking lot. He will be missed, but will always have a special place in my memories. Leon Long, also known as "L-squared"
