Many blessings and condolences to the families of Mary Gilmore. I attended Lake Elementary School, and Orland High School with Bruce. Both of my parents; Carell and Bernice Kolousek farmed not too far from the Gilmore dairy. I still recall those simpler days in the country when all of us gathered at a community function. Peace be with all of you during your time of sorrow.
