Dear Helen and family.
Sorry to read of Franks death. I know he will be greatly misssed. I was in Midland for my 60th class reunion on 19th and 20th and I was wondering how you all were. In fact, I placed flowers on my parents grave site and walked over to see Aunt Clare and Jacks stone. In case you have forgotten
I wrote the Bliss Genealogy book.
