Sometimes a death brings people together that life has separated. After Pete died, I contacted an old friend of ours who knew Pete - Dean Wilkerson. Dean and his brother David had been in the scouts with all of us and Dean's father had helped us and been a wonderful part of our lives. I reconnected with Dean - now a Senior Vice President of a major development corporation:Portman Holdings - at that time, Dean was on his way to Korea to close a deal. Dean had lived and worked in Delray Beach and had a few friends that he wanted to see after the Korean negotiations. He informed me that he would like to include me in that visit. Susan, Dean and I had a wonderful night reminiscing and a great dinner at Rocky's, a Delray Italian restaurant - It was like so many of our friends - it feels like they just stepped out and went down to the 7-11 - instead, 30 years elapsed. Dean is a major corporate leader, and I'm . . . well, you know. . .
