We (Steve and Janet Boehmer) met Elton and Lynn at the Monday night MVBA bridge club, and got to know them much better at Jonas's monthly bridge club where we shared wine and hors d'oeuvres (and bridge.) Elton always had funny memories and jokes to share, and amazed us with his bridge skills. Janet and Elton shared an educational background with her doing observations at Olive School, a Mad River School when she was getting her Master's Degree in Education.
His absence will always be remembered and will be greatly missed!!
