Pauline: Please accept my belated but deepest sympathies. I have great memories of visiting with you, Dale and your kids during my childhood — in Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania. It was so thoughtful of you to include my dad, Mel Hough, among Dale’s survivors. They were steadfast friends, weren’t they?! Mom died Holy Thursday, the day before Dale, and Dad passed on May 8 of this year. I can only imagine the time they are having now. My prayers are with you. Fondly, Barbara Hough Huesken
