1/13 RIP,LEONARD BORGDORFF,[I grew up in the same church,1st CRC, as the Borgdorff family & the kids all attended the same high school. Len was a few years older than me (same age as my sister I believe). Nick was 1 year older. The younger daughter married Dan Dekam, a former roommate of mine. Pete, the father,continues to be a leader for the CRC at large. Nice family.Sad loss of a good person who also served our country underwater. My condolences,thoughts & prayers to all of them. ]
