Hey Cuz

Hey Fran,

So...I just dont think the last little bit of life was very kind to you.  And I'm sad and sorry abou that; you deserved better.

I remember you, for a time in my life, as the coolest guy I knew.  As my oldest cousin, you had that mythical sort of older-brother cool, and the times our families spent together so many years ago when we were kids hold a special place in my life.  Blue family campers.  leeches.  water skiing - or not.

I remember a photo of you in Vietnam, shirtless, cigarette in hand, next to a cannon.  Like it was just another day at work.  How you could be so cool in a place I feared I would end up was facinating.  War!  No helmet?  Cool.

You also drove that Corvair, at least for awhile.  I still want that car.

I just wanted you to know that there were lots of good times, cousin.  I'll see you soon enough and we'll finally fish together.

Love,

Tom
