Margaret & children - I was scanning the obituaries in El Centro and saw where Jack had passed away. Margaret I don't know if you remember me but we worked together at the IV Bowling Alley in El Centro. My husband Charles & our children moved from El Centro in 1968 to Illinois, he passed away in 1978, my children grew up and left Illinois for Georgia so here I am in Gainesville, GA. My e-mail is [email protected]. Margaret, again please accept my condolences about your loss. I would love to hear from you if you have a computer. God bless you and your family
