Dear "Renee":



It's been years since we've been in touch, but I well remember and treasure all the fun times back on Bosworth. Your Mom was always welcoming and warm, funny and fun-loving. We must have driven her crazy, but she was so patient with all our stunts and outrageous plans. I've thought of you, "little" Clyde and your folks often over nearly 40 years, and send heartfelt prayers your way now for peace and cherished memories to fill your days.
