Despite your folks having moved away from Neenah decades ago, I still think of them regularly and remember them fondly. Your dad was one of my most highly regarded Brigade leaders, and, a great role model for me as I was growing up. It's difficult to go by the former Hermene's gift shop without remembering that longtime Neenah treasure. Your dad and mom were upstanding and classy, salt of the earth folks!
