Phone call with Vern:
Ron had a stroke a short time ago and would have liked to go to our 2003 reunion but isn't quite ready yet. He plans on going to the 2004 reunion.

Before his stroke he worked in a Textile Mill on looms that created curtains etc.

He has remained in contact with shipmate Bob Munoz
