Bob, Steve, and family,
I have many fond memories of your mom. She was always so friendly,caring and funny. I will never forget the stories your mom told to my mom about her experience of becoming a commercial fishing family. For example, "Oh Tom has to drive to the coast tomorrow... to look at Edith's bottom!"
