Mr.and Mrs. Perani, I had just run into you earlier this year and you had gotten me all got up on Nate and Brian. It was the first time I had seen any of you or heard anything on a childhood friend in almost 30 years. I was devastated to hear of Nate's passing. I am thinking of the 2 of you, his wife and children, and the rest of his family and friends. All my sympathy, Sandra (Lauricia) Bukovinsky
