About 60 years ago when our kids were little, now mine are in their 60s,
we were all good friends, and Barbara said I looked like her twin
sister, which was thrilling to me and I have thought about it ever since.

We knew Dean and Barbara well during the three years (1965-68) we lived in Tucson. Dean was in the Stake presidency, and we were members of the Tucson 5th Ward with he and Barbara. Many happy memories together! Our love to all his family.
