I have many fun memories of time spent with Jack and Jane and their children as we were growing up in the east berlin area. I remember some beach vacations with the Miller family and some camping trips, as well. Christmas eve's were spent in their home, after late church service. I loved spending time at Lau's when Jack was working.
