Dear Martas & all friends:
Mom & Kathy keep me up to date so I have been aware of Joe's illness. I am so sorry for your loss. One of my funniest memories when I was 15? I went to "sneak out" got caught fully dressed in the hall then it was really blown because Joe & who knows who else were out in front of my house honking the horn of that VW van. Pretty sneaky!Sue,thinking of you especially my love to everyone. Kathy will give you a hug from me...
