Janet and Ken, During my visit with your dad (my uncle), I told him he should be so proud of the success of his children and grandchildren. He did a good job! He was so cute. Shy with a smile. He never bragged. I loved teasing him because I could always be guaranteed a smile. My heart is so full of love for my Uncle George.
