Iris wrote an article for the Traveler about our house one time, and we alway's appreciated the care that she showed in the words and descriptions that she so expertly wrote. She was a very accomplished woman in so many ways. The world is a richer place because she graced it along with all of us.

Jody, Ruth Ann, Karen, and families. I was so saddened to see in the Traveler online about your mom's death. As you know, there were many enjoyable times when I worked for you folks in the late 1950's; but I truly valued the knowing of both your parents from the first time I met them in the 1940's. A great loss, but they both left our world a better place. Love and sympathy are with you in these trying times.
