Charlie,
I meant that my dad was born in 1910, not 1913, so Alice was just a few years younger.

Charlie,
Your mother was such a gracious and proper lady. She was the oldest of the Peterson cousins, being born just one year after my father, Art Peterson. They were good friends in their later years and enjoyed each other's company very much. We tried to keep in touch when we visited Salem.
My sympathy to you!

Sincerely, Carole (Peterson) Gilbertson

Charlie, sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember her from when we were kids and went to Bible School together. She was a very nice person.
