I was saddened to hear of Zane's passing and have spent the day thinking of how wonderful he was. He always had a good time getting me when I was young and naive and those memories make me smile. Some of the best memories are of trips to Arkansas and SQUARE DANCING! Love you today and always Dale. Please keep in touch as this is how we can keep his memory alive. I miss him. (((((Hugs)))))
