I remember the Pandils very well. I went to school with Melvin "Whitey" in kindergarten and then caught up with him again in the sixth grade after a few years at Park School. The last I had known was that Whitey was still in Colorado. Nice to know of his new location. I did not know the older siblings very well but did know of them, mainly Junior and Marvin. I hope the family will know that I was thinking of them and they have my blessings. -- Duane Crawford
