My phone and Internet have been down for several days, now that I can check in, I see all this terrible news. That is another reason this website is so important. Thanks to everyone who keeps updating us.
Can someone tell me what is going on with Carol and Alan? I see the prayers but no mention of what this is about.
Bill Rusk was one of my best friends in H.S. We were in touch for many years afterwards. He had surgery for prostate cancer about 15 years ago, don't know if that had any connection, but like so many, he was way too young. I know he had an older sister, whom I don't think ever married, and that his parents died sometime ago. They were his only immediate family. He was very bitter after a broken marriage. After leaving the police dept. he became somewhat of a loner and was very hard to reach. We had some wild times way back when and I still laugh at all the crazy situations we got into, especially those involving his Vauxhall car. We were building the homecoming float at Marcia Rodwell's on Sunset Dr. when Bill thought it would be fun to pack as many people as possible inside, then drive in reverse all the way around the Sunset and Empire loop. He was wonderfully crazy. I've been missing him for many years and am very sad with this news.
