Evelyn, Phyllis, Larry, and family - we are so sorry for your loss. Evelyn, you and I worked together at the Tanglewilde branch of South Sound Bank. I was a guest in your lovely home off Madrona Beach when Phyllis put me in a couple of her fancy dresses. Loved seeing you fly away from work in your Vette for home those many years ago.
