William B. Colburn

Dear Gert, Conrad often speaks of the times he & Bill farmed and worked on machinery together. I always enjoyed his wry humor when asked how you were, "ornery as ever" but that wasn't true. He also remembers standing with Bill beneath your deck when you were taking a "pot shot" at the racoon/woodchuck in your garden as he hit the ground at the noise. He'll be missed by many...May your fond memories comfort you in his loss, love Sandy & Conrad Johnson
