1981-2011

This year, this month, and this week our family will mark the 30th anniversary of our brother, Bill's, disappearance on Mar. 26-27th, 1981. It is not one of the happy anniversaries - it is sad and frustrating, fills some of us with a sense of guilt or failure or both and many other emotions and feelings; there is a consistent longing to know where Bill is - is he dead or alive? There is a constant gnawing at your heart as to where your loved one has gone; the uncertainty, the unknowing, the ambiguity, the loss of love, the loss of a brother is with you through the busy days and in the quiet solitude of night.

With death there is finality; there is certainty; there is a funeral, a grave site to visit or other ways to commemorate the loss of those you love and you come to terms eventually. For the families of those MISSING IN AMERICA and elsewhere in this world there is only uncertainty; each member of our family has dealt with this disappearance in their own way and carried on. It is not easy. Our remembrances of our brother are based on 30 year old recollections - on 30 year old photos - he would now be in his sixties, a different person; one we no longer know - we have no grave to visit, no place to send flowers.

Mar. 26-27th, 1981 was for our family the day a lot of love and happiness disappeared from our lives.

We need HELP to find our brother - thank you for taking the time to visit this blog and allowing us to share him with you
