This is so exciting for me, as Rittichier has been a part of my life for four years now. As soon as I learned about the repatriation, I began telling every one I knew -- and probably people I didn't know -- about it and about him. I have a bracelet for Rittichier, but it stays on my dresser next to his photo most the time, because the bracelet is too big for my little wrists.



I have been in contact with a newspaper reporter about Rittichier, and through her and others, I now have (1) the address for and (2) 'permission' to write Rittichier's widow and brothers, the latter of which desire those of us concerned about Rittichier to be at the memorial service(s) for him. Great !

Hi Stacey,



Please let us know about the memorial service (when/where) so we can attend if possible.



Thanks!



Jen

I will alert you (and others) as soon as I know something, but I realize that this [the identification] can take up to 18 months. The 18 (+/-) months, I think, will be almost as long for the families as the past 34 1/2 years have been ...
