To Kelly, sorry it took so long to express my condolences but I didn't know about your Father's passing. I hope all is well with you. I DO think of you often. Last I heard you were in Michigan. Your husband must be done with Coast Guard. Think you will move back here? Your kids must be young adults now. I'm glad I sent this email to you. Hope you get it. You take care of yourself. Wild Bill.
