"59ers & Friends,

"Yesterday, March 7, we lost our friend and classmate, CV Miller, to cancer. He was at home under hospice care and was peaceful. Sandy, and their daughter Linné, were with him. His services will be at our USAFA at a time to be determined.

"Sandy and Linné can be reached at cvsmiller@aol.com or 444 Marion Drive, Niceville, FL 32578. Text only to 850-217-4845.

Max"
