As I look back over the years I will always cherish the memories of driving over to Uncle John and Aunt Anna to watch "Uncle Milty" and the "Auto-light" mystery theater. I fondly recall playing with Johnny, Billy, Freddie and Eddie. Thanks for providing me my only "Taxi-cab" job with Castle Hill Livery Service. Oh the stories that came out of that summer. "What a Trip!" Perhaps another light in the Nodhturft family quietly fades into the night, but my how those cherished memories of years gone by shine brightly. God be with you till we meet again.
Love, Sonny
