I didn't know Brian St. Louis, but a lot of people I do know did.  One of them asked me to repost the link from Ted's Take with the letter from Beth Lenz, GM of KCI, concerning his untimely passing last week.

My friend also asked if I would post the information about the fund to aid his family.  I'm happy do to so.  Contributions can be sent to:

The Brian & Emily St. Louis Family Fund

c/o CRP Management Group

PO Box 1548

Ashburn, VA, 20146

Here are a few more links about Brian St. Louis, a man that made a difference in the Capitals/Kettler community.
