Don; I met you just last night at the American Legion, Wynantskill, I was touched by how special you and your wife were to each other. I believe that things happen for a reason and we made a connection in the people we knew and loved who have gone before us. 58 1/2 years of a happy marriage is a wonderful gift you gave to each other; I hope your remaining days are blessed with peace and comfort of many happy memories.
