Mr Hodges (and Audry) were a very large part of my life growing up in Ann Arbor. I was very glad to have lunch with him and his nieces over this past Thanksgiving in Marshall. When I arrived at the restaurant, I just KNEW the sporty 2 door Cadillac belonged to him and I was right! He was always thoughtful and enjoyed others. I will miss him.

When I was a little girl, my dad's cousin Maury reminded me of Monty Hall. At my grandparents 50th and 60th wedding anniversary gatherings Cousin Maury was always dressed to a tee with is bright colors. I loved going through the family albums to see pictures related to the stories I heard over the years.
