Helen was a dear friend of my mother, Ruth Knutson, when our family first moved to Kirkland from Wisconsin in 1954. She and George were in a dinner club and played cards together with my parents. She was aways so gracious and hospitable and a true "lady" in the best sense of the word. My sympathy goes to the remaining family. Dr. Dennis D. Knutson, Sioux Falls, SD
