I was sorry to see the death notice of Russell Blatchford in the "Everett Herald". It brought back memories of Wenatchee and the Blatchford family. I used to baby sit Russell and Gayle. My maiden name was Knowles, and my parents were Ed & Hazel Knowles. We attended the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church and knew all the Paces well. My husband (Wes)and I are retired from the ministry and live in Mill Creek, WA. If Gayle would like to contact me she may do so via email or phone (425.338.5203. Please accept my heart-felt sympathy. I pray that you'll know the comfort that only God can give in difficult times like this.
