Dear Gloria,
It is with sadness that I report that my Dad passed away early this morning. He was 93 years old (almost 94) and had been in failing health for a while. He spent his last days comfortably in a wonderful hospice here. My mother and I will take him back to West Point (his alma mater) for burial in Sept. Our family was truly blessed to have had him in our lives for so long.
Love, Kris Strand Meyer ('64)
