Earlier this month I received a phone call from my dad in Pinole. He read me Eldon's obituary over the phone. I was so saddened to learn of your loss. I have fond memories of spending time with the whole Allen family during my high school years. I always enjoyed Eldon's humor and hospitality. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.

My condolences to you, Glenda, and the family. I remember the fun we had on Babe's bus trips to Reno.
