Dear Dorthea and Family-
.You have always been very special family to me, many memories all the way back to the ranch when I was small. Jack was the one that came to John's and my rescue in collage when we were first married and had car problems...44 years ago. God bless him and all of you. The Tintingers are really thinning out....
