Bob and Jane.......I am sorry this is so late, but I just found out when I visited Goldner's shop on Sept 15th 2017. To say I was shocked to hear of Blair's passing is to say the least. I can't imagine how you felt then and even now. Barbara and I send our heart felt condolences to you both. We will keep you in our prayers and may the good Lord bless you both.
