My sympathy to all of Paul's family, especially Bob and Clarice and Dorothy and Mervin. How time flies! Bob was my dad's hired man one summer - in the 40s! I never see any of you anymore but I remember all the good times in high school, where we each sat in study hall, Clarice's beautiful red hair, etc. We've lived in Mt. Vernon for 55 years and don't get to Nichols much anymore, since Mom Marie died, but do stop when we are passing through. I hope all of you are in good health and enjoying this wonderful Iowa year.
