My thoughts have been with you all the past few days. I am sorry that I won't be with you on Thursday. So glad I got to see Orin after so many years, and our visits over the phone. Orin and June were very gracious about sharing their home in Superior for family affairs. This is so sad with the passing of his sister Delores Piper in 2012, and his sister LaVaune Larsen this past Nov. God bless you all. Orin's cousin
