Few work associates leave a life long impression. Bernie was that guy, for m!. We worked from 1960 through 1968 at the Internal Revenue Service. My first job out of school, Bernie's also, I trust. Reflecting on what was the "issue of the day", Unbelievable today. Let me add my condolences to your family and know I have Bernie in my prayers Bast, John Meersman
