My most vivid memory of Uncle George if from when I was very young. He took me for a drive in his sporty convertible car on one of our visits to his & Aunt Claudia's home. I also remember a perpetual motion sculpture on his desk in his office. There were a few visits with my Aunt Evelyn and Uncle George Cromell that I recall good food and lots of laughter from the adults. I also remember either Pam or Judith introducing me to Star Trek for the first time! We moved away to N. California and...

Doctor Moreland was my family´s doctor dating back to the early 1960s. He cared for my parents, siblings & most of my friends. He was always such a gentle, reassuring figure. He had a great sense of humor, and was able to make everyone, from the youngest child to their grandparents, feel at ease. So many families in the NorthEast valley are indebted to his legacy. I will never forget the look on his face when my mother rushed me, at about 4 years old, to his office after she discovered I...
