Dayle, I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of.Dennis. I worked with Dennis for quite a few years at Kennecott and we all enjoy his company very much. I talked to him a few years ago at St. Marks cardiac rehab center. Both of us were ther to get back in shape. It was great to see him again and talked the old times at Kennecott. He will be missed.
