Dear Mary Lou, It has been almost 63 years since I have heard about you and Harry. I once connected with the guys and gals from Assumption parish and later married one the group...Bob Beach ... who lived on Blaine Avenue. Have many wonderful memories of those days. I just received "The Inpls Criterion" today and was so sorry to read about Harry's passing. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Peace, Angie (Verhonik) Beach
