Hello Deb, Uncle Benny & all the kids
Our condolences to all of you on the loss of your mother and wife. Seems all of us were together just yesterday in Marlboro and not the 50+ years that have transpired since then.
Still fondly recall the Shackley's breakfast when I came home on leave from the Service with a stop in Calif to see the inlaws...
Again, our fondest memories and prayers are with you all.
Dennis, Donna & the Kids
