To the Marsh family----There are so many memories going back many years in our family. We touched bases on family occasions and in each others homes.. Very special times when spending time together with you, my Mom and our Aunties. Lots of Chinese dinners with Uncle Bernard and all of us. So many good times to remember. Will be thinking of you on 25th and wishing I could be there. Love from Dorothy

Norm was so essential to the OSU short courses on timber cruising. He and Donna were always there for the dinners at John Bell's home, and Norm was full of wonderful stories.
