Hello once more. Somewhere in a shoebox I a photo or two of Stan & Louise. I can launch a search if you wish. Your other Powell cousins by blood and circumstance are my brothers Jim and John.

Reading again about Louise, I'm struck by her can-do spirit. We would all gain from channeling that spirit. Hope...

Our dad's were 1st cousins and fond of one another. Louise gave me a Talavera painted vase when I was small. I've never forgotten her or my fascination with the vase.

Don & Katie - I will never ever forget your Mom. She had a great influence on my life and always told me how proud of me she was with all my efforts with Federal Women. Renny and I both loved her so much. She and Stan had shared their beloved Mexico home with us for 34 years. We will always remember the wonderful times we had with her in Mexico and here in Colorado Springs. I know she was a wonderful mother and mother-in-law and she will be missed by everybody that was fortunate enough...

Don, Your mother always treated me very well. She was one of a kind. My symapthies to you and all of your family.
