Read MoreThe one famous "joke" we will never forget was the shoebox full of computer punches he threw into our at our wedding in Chico in 1965.

Mariano and Todd will always smile at our memories of Jim and Thelma's visit to our home in SF during one of their trailer trips. Jim told me he thought it was great our home was built on sand so it could flex during an earthquake. Haven't worried about it since! Lots of love, Todd and Mariano.
