Already familiar with the Edwards/Barker clan from my days in St. Louis and at Knollwood in Wisconsin, we joined up with Al, Polly and family in our early days in Oregon in the late '60s.

My condolences to the Edwards family. The Cash family attended First Orthodox Presbyterian Church in NE Portland, OR, where Al Edwards was pastor for many years.

My Grandmother truly enjoyed those times and spoke fondly of them later in life. Margo Cash
