Hi Jerri, So sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. From reading about him, he probably knew my father in law Jim Haas who worked at the Dispatch as the Circulation Manager and retired in 1995. I will pass this on to him so he knows and my sincere condolences to you and your family.
Best regards,
Gregg Herbst
