It was a week ago today that I drove to Winfield, met Carl Rex Armstrong and we went to see my Classmate Carl Arndt that was recently diagnosed with Cancer, we had a great visit and as usual Carl was laughing and in good spirits. Sadly I just got word this morning that Carl passed away last night. Carl was a lifelong friend and a person that enjoyed life to the fullest.
