My condolences go out to Fred and his family. Although I've only met Fred and Lou at the 1998 HL Reunion, I often chatted with both of them via the Internet. Most everytime I chatted with Fred, he would would type in these words from Lou, "Tell Birdie I said hi." (Lou was referring to my AOL address of Biri97.)

Rest in peace, Lou. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you, Fred, and your family.

Sadly, from the East Coast...
