Dear Aunt Lois et al. I'm late in seeing this beautiful tribute to Uncle Dick, but am now on "HEAVEN" our 38' Lagoon in VA making the trip from NH to Bahamas for the winter with Randy. I will certainly think of him and hold him in my heart, cruising down the eastern seaboard. I am sure he and Dad are in Heaven and on board "HEAVEN", accompanying us on our second winter adventure. All love, Ellen Heronemus Bryan

Lois, you have our complete sympathy. Although we've only known you a little while, we really enjoyed meeting you, purchasing your Arizona household items, and having dinner with you and the Nies's. I truly enjoyed visiting with Dick, a very kind man. Take care
