As a friend of Dennis and Bob, I spent many hours in the Raymond household on St. Lawrence Drive back in the '60's and '70's. What a wonderful time we had. I will always appreciate the many kindnesses that Mrs. Raymond extended to me, and I will always remember her as a warm, generous, and vigorous person.
