Wayne Kendall sends this unwelcome news:
"Dear Classmates,
"I just found out that our friend and classmate Jim Bujalski passed away suddenly while on vacation with his wife Judy. I don’t have much information other than his wish to be buried at USAFA.
"He is our brother in arms, and his final flight leaves a wide gap in our ranks.
"Wayne"
