Quite by chance when we were all cruising the coast of Maine, we met John and Gibby in Southwest Harbor and had lunch and laughter together. A few years later when we had gone to Boca Grande for the fishing, we met again and this time spent Christmas week together with John and Gib and Uncle De and Aunt Helen. We miss you and know that we'll meet again.........Love, Kay and Dana
