To Ricky, Susan, Joey, Matt, Joanne, Mao, Carol & Laurie: I have such find memories of my move to Duxbury at age 6 in 1966 and having all of you as neighbors. Your mom was so cool in the midst of basketball games or SPUD in the driveway, ballet, packing big lunches out of y;our huge pantry for trips in the green Land Rover out to Big Beach, checker games in the basement and listening to the Monkees or the Nutcracker Suite. I last saw her when she traveled over to ACK for a visit...I sat and talked with her while she waited for a plane...It seems like only yesterday......My sincere thoughts are with all of you at this time...
