						I have 
						some sad news to report.  Dennis Vignola died last 
						night.  There's a lesson in this for all of us. A few 
						years after leaving the PA, Dennis started experiencing 
						neurological problems that greatly affected his ability 
						to function in the workplace.  His condition steadily 
						got worse and affected all aspects of his life.  Dennis 
						was blessed to have his wife Serena, who stayed by his 
						side, took care of him and fought the medical 
						establishment to find him help.  
						
						After 
						months (perhaps years) of visiting doctors and 
						hospitals, it was determined that Dennis had long 
						undiagnosed Lyme Disease that affected his brain and was 
						largely irreversible.  I will choose to remember Dennis 
						as the intelligent, thoughtful and genuinely funny 
						person that he was when we worked together at the PA.  
						He was a good friend and I will miss him. 
						
						
						Dennis is 
						survived by his wife Serena and his twin boys Dennis and 
						Michael.  If you are so moved, I know Serena would 
						appreciate a card and any remembrance of Dennis you 
						would care to share. 
						
						I know 
						Dennis worked with many in the PA starting in HR, TB&T, 
						WT, Aviation.  Please pass this on to others that would 
						want to know. 
						
						
						Webmaster's Note: 
						I will retain a copy of John Jacoby's e-mail, please 
						contact me if you want the home address of Serena, I did 
						not print it above because I did not want her home 
						address posted on a public website.
