Virgil and all members of the Bushey family:
It is with great sadness that I read of Linwood's (Berg's) passing. I had reconnected with him a couple of years ago through garnishing permission to take my grandson to the range for target practice.
I would get to visit with him and talk about old times, hunting, marksmanship, sports, family, politics, the economy and of course the dreaded Yankees ( I had to be careful because I am a Red Sox fan and didn't want to lose the privilege of using the range!!!). I would always try to leave him a little venison when I had some and he loved that.... He was quite a guy. And of course Virgil, you and I being high school classmates and athletes, always generated conversation!!
I'll miss my short but great visits I had with him. Another player of Essex history moves on!!!! I hope you and your family find comfort and peace in the coming days...
Sincerely, Dave Zehnacker
