To Art's Family -
You don't know me - I'm Ruth Hosmer's niece Barbara. I knew your father well. He was one of the sweetest men I've had the pleasure of meeting. We shared many good times when he and Aunt Ruth were "up north" at Jerry's cottage. He was so kind and loving to my beloved Aunt Ruth. You all have my sincerest sympathy. He was a wonderful man!
