    Sis and Family, So sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a wonderful guy, so good to our girl group taking the camper to East Harbor for us to enjoy after graduation. He always had a smile. Whenever I happened to run into him he never forgot me even after all these years. Please express my sympathy to your brothers and Marge.
