Lois my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I have a cold with a terrible sounding cough or I would be there to tell you this in person. Harlan will be missed! Always enjoyed seeing both of you at Class of '62 reunions. Please take care of yourself and know you are always welcome at any class function. Please let me know if your contact information changes.
Hugs, Joyce
Please wait...
