Hello Helen. How well I remember when I first met you and Hale at the wedding celebration party Margaret and Barney gave for me and Dave Pierson (who died in 1989). You two were so admirable as a couple and as individuals, and are some of the very special people in my mind from Lincoln, Nebraska. And remember, you gave my Katie weaving lessons. My sympathy to you. Lonnie Pierson Dunbier
