So sorry for your loss....I went to school with Chet all 12 years....was a great friend. He was the one that gave me my nickname ""Lanny"" That name stayed with me all through high school and even when we ran into each other...he would call me Lanny instead of Karen. I know that he is in a better place then we are....but he will be sadly missed. Blessings to you all. Karen
