My memories of your father are very few and only from these past few years; but the memories are very “fond”, especially when Dawn & I had the opportunity to speak with him and your family several years ago as you were all leaving Gale Street Inn, celebrating his “special” birthday. I believe it was his 95th. Thanks be to God.
