  3. I have not seen Buzz since perhaps the 1960's, but he was among the most positive fun people in our neighborhood, and I am glad to see him still out on the dance floor. We used to tool around in his new blue Hudson (well, his dad's....) Betty was a charmer and I know she is well remembered and much missed. Donn Murphy
