Alan & Irene: Your father was a such a special person, as was your mother ... such good friends to Dave and Irene. Ray was at several Sunday night dinners at Nancy & Linda's recently, and we talked a little bit about his WW2 experiences as well as his ATT career. Such a charming guy. When I would stay at Nancy & Tom's to kittysit for Harold, I would often meet him walking Tilquist Rd & have a nice chat. I am out in California visiting my sister; otherwise I would be there tomorrow for the service ... Think of you with much sympathy for a life well-lived ... we will miss him, but glad to to know he is being reunited with Thelma. Mary Ellen
