  A NOTE FROM SMITTY'S SON ALLEN

6 April, 2001
     My father passed away this morning at 8:30 AM from a massive heart attack.  He was 60 years old.   He never felt a thing.   He was driving home from town to pick up my mother to take her to our cabin in the woods when he entered the passing lane on a corner to pass a car.   He pulled out and died while passing.   His foot came off the gas pedal and his car coasted to a stop on the other side of the road.  The police were there in a minute and he was 4 blocks from hospital but they could do nothing for him. 
     I would like to let you know that if any of you that remember him would like to get to know what he did after Karamusel that I would be honored to inform any and all of my dads life since then.   I have some recent pictures he had made to send to everyone via a scanner but I don't have one yet so will get them to you asap. 
     Thank you for your emails to him and from the others too.   If I had the forum page I would log on and chat to let all know he really enjoyed these last few months remembering the good ole days in Turkey.   

Thanks Alot
Allan Smith
