My childhood hero, my brother Art, died today.

Special Forces sergeant during the Vietnam War, walk-on to the Ohio State Football team- met Woody Hayes who thought having an ex-Green Beret on the team was a very good thing!  Left college to become a police officer and helped establish the first SWAT Team in Cleveland - back when SWAT was like super-cool.  Studied law and completed law school just to prove to himself that he could, then retired from the police and taught criminal and private investigation in a college to mostly poor but aspiring underprivileged students.  Had a lifelong dream to build a log cabin and did so on atop a wooded hill in mid-Ohio with his own hands.  He was a formidable warrior, a master craftsman, a great brother, and I will miss him.
