Bonnie,
Through the magic of the internet I am reaching out across more than 4 decades to offer my condolences on the loss of your Dad. Think back to when you (we) lived in Columbus in the early 60s. Our parents were good friends and we all used to get together at each others' houses. We even went camping once together. My folks are Jim and Pat McGraw. I'm David and had a younger brother Jim. On the actual day of your father's death I happened to be in Columbus (first time in many many years) and thought of your family. Today I'm back home in Vermont and decided to try to track you all down. I hope that life has been good to you! When you have time I hope that you will contact me to say hello. My memories of your Dad are all so positive. He must have been a great father!
All the best to you,
David McGraw
