Pops, Thank you for all that you have shown me on the job. Thank you for all the laughs you've given me, and all the Christmas parties we worked on together for the shop. We won't say anything about all of the rummy games we played on the clock, or all the western books you gave me when you retired. Yours will be a spirit I will truly miss. I'm retired myself now and I listened to what you told me about that. Carol, Chris and I want you to know that our prayers and thoughts are with you. Until our paths cross again,

Your #1 Mill Son Dennis Evans
